Common Causes of Injuries in a Slip and Fall Accident

Property owners have a legal duty to ensure their property is safe for visitors. They must address hazards promptly by correcting the dangerous condition or warning visitors by placing signs, cordoning off the area, or asking an employee to direct visitors away from the hazard. When visitors are injured by a hazardous condition and the property owner knew (or should have known about it), the property owner can be held liable.

Slip and Fall Injuries

When someone slips on a wet or icy surface, they often fall backward when their feet slide out from under them. These falls often occur quickly and without warning, making it difficult for a person to brace themselves for the fall. People who slip and fall often suffer serious injuries to their head, neck, and back. Bruising, broken bones, and head trauma are other common injuries in a slip and fall accident.

Trip and Fall Injuries

A trip and fall accident occurs when a person stumbles over an object in their path, such as a rug, uneven pavement, or a foreign object on the ground. In a trip and fall accident, people typically fall forward and try to brace themselves by extending their arms to break the fall with their hands. Trip and fall accidents often result in injuries to the arms, hands, fingers, and head. They can also result in broken bones, head trauma, and traumatic brain injuries.
