Slip And Fall Accidents

A slip and fall accident occurs when someone is injured after slipping or tripping on another party’s property. These incidents fall under premises liability law, which may hold property owners responsible when unsafe conditions cause harm. Common hazards include uneven flooring, poor lighting, wet or icy surfaces, damaged stairs, loose carpeting, and cracked sidewalks. Outdoor conditions such as snow, rain, ice, or hidden defects like potholes can also lead to serious injuries.
Liability in slip and fall cases depends on whether the property owner failed to address a dangerous condition they knew—or should have known—about, and whether the hazard posed an unreasonable risk that was not obvious. The injured person must show that the condition directly caused their injury and that reasonable care was not taken to prevent the accident.
