What is slip and fall injury?
A slip-and-fall injury is a type of accident that occurs when someone falls down. This happens for various reasons including poor lighting, wet floors, objects that block a hallway, or an accumulation of ice and snow on the ground. There are several factors that can cause these accidents, from dangerous situations with no warning signs to reckless behavior as a result of intoxication. Some slip and fall injuries are minor, but others can be serious and even deadly. Regardless of the severity of the injury, however, victims have the right to seek compensation for their damages and losses.
Slip and fall injuries are typically caused by someone else's negligence in maintaining their property. For example, if your neighbor failed to shovel his sidewalk after a heavy snowfall, he could be held responsible for your resulting injury if you slipped on the ice while walking past his house. The same is true if a business owner fails to clean up spilled water in a store aisle or left trash lying around on the floor of his restaurant. Slip-and-fall injuries can also occur because of dangerous situations that were not adequately marked with warning signs or cones.
