Slip, Trip & Fall Injury Claims

Slip, trip, and fall accidents can happen anywhere—on icy sidewalks, wet floors, uneven surfaces, or poorly maintained property. These seemingly minor accidents can result in serious injuries, including broken bones, head trauma, spinal injuries, and long-term medical complications.

Common Causes of Slip, Trip & Fall Accidents

Slip and fall accidents are typically the result of hazardous property conditions, including:

Wet or slippery floors
Uneven surfaces or broken flooring
Poor lighting in stairways or hallways
Loose rugs, mats, or carpeting
Cracked sidewalks or potholes
Cluttered walkways and debris
Missing handrails or unsafe stairs
Ice or snow accumulation

Property owners and managers have a legal duty to maintain safe premises. When they fail to do so, they may be liable for resulting injuries.

Types of Injuries in Slip & Fall Accidents

Slip and fall accidents can cause injuries ranging from minor to life-altering, such as:
