Slips and Falls
Most people have seen humorous home videos on television or YouTube of people clumsily falling over furniture or animals and even toppling into a body of water. Even Miss Universe contestants aren't immune from the occasional trip on stage. However, slipping and falling due to negligence on the part of the property owner is no laughing matter.
People of all ages and health conditions can be seriously injured (or even die) from
slips and falls. These accidents can happen inside or out, on private property or in a public place. If you have sustained injuries due to slipping or falling on premises owned or maintained by someone else (through no fault of your own), you may be able to file a lawsuit to get compensation for those injuries.
What conditions can cause slips and falls?- Snow or ice covering walkways
- Wet flooring without appropriate warning signage
- Loose or torn carpeting
- Steps or manholes without warning
- Broken sidewalks
- Uneven ground or level changes without warning
- Construction debris on walkways
