Slip and Fall Injuries 

Causes of Slip and Fall

      Slip and fall injuries often result from a situation wherein a person slipped, tripped and fell due to the dangerous condition of another person’s property. Falls can take place anywhere but often occur at grocery stores, shopping malls, department stores, in parking lots and on sidewalks.  They can be due to the damaged flooring, wet areas, poorly lighted steps, weather-related conditions, icy patches, sidewalk cracks, open manholes and other similar hazardous conditions. Slip and fall cases are rightfully included under the broader category known as "premises liability". 

Duty of Property Owners and Possessors

      Property owners and possessors have a duty to provide a hazard-free environment for people on their properties. If they fail to do so and someone gets injured as a result, they are responsible for the injured person's medical expenses, pain, suffering, and lost wages. The same goes true for business establishments. Dangerous conditions such as torn carpeting, changes in flooring, poor lighting, narrow stairs, or a wet floor can cause someone to slip and hurt himself inside a building. When this happens, the victim must be indemnified and compensated for his slip and fall injuries by the negligent property owner, possessor or business proprietor.
