Common types of slip and fall accidents
Despite common misconceptions, slip and fall accidents that cause serious injuries don’t just happen on staircases or wet floors. Yes, wet or slippery floors – or those with fresh coats of wax – can create unsafe conditions.
However, several other contributing factors fall under this category of personal injury law and shouldn’t be overlooked if you’ve injured yourself due to a property owner’s negligence.
-
Inadequate lighting:
can make it difficult to see obstacles or other hazards, increasing your risk of tripping and falling.
-
Lack of handrails:
on staircases or those that are in disrepair can lead to falls, especially for elderly or disabled individuals.
-
Uneven or damaged surfaces:
that include cracks or gaps in sidewalks, parking lots, or flooring that are not clearly marked with a warning can cause trips and falls.
Not all slip-and-fall accidents lead to personal injury lawsuits. Our firm can review the merits of your case to determine liability, which generally requires proving the property owner was negligent in maintaining safe conditions.
