Start Your Journey to JusticeWhat Is a Slip and Fall Case?
A slip and fall case refers to an incident where an individual falls and is injured on another person’s property due to hazardous conditions such as wet floors, uneven surfaces, or lack of proper maintenance. Property owners can be held responsible for these injuries when the area was not clearly marked as unsafe, reasonable efforts weren’t made to remedy the situation, and the person who suffered the fall was behaving responsibly.
What Causes a Slip and Fall Accident?
Our team of slip and fall lawyers has experience working with a wide variety of injuries and scenarios, and we’re prepared to help you navigate the ins and outs of your unique case.
Nursing Home Negligence
If nursing home residents, especially those who are at a high risk of a slip and fall accident, are not provided with extra monitoring, railings, wheelchairs, walkers, and other necessary protection, the facility can be held liable for any injuries they sustain in a fall.
Wet Floors
To prevent falls, property owners are responsible for warning visitors of freshly mopped floors or other slippery surfaces. They should also maintain sidewalks, clearing off ice and snow promptly and cleaning up dangerous conditions, such as oil or grease spills.
Uneven Surfaces
Cracked sidewalks, loose floorboards, or poorly placed pavers can all create precarious, uneven surfaces. If property owners don’t fix these issues or put up warning signs, they can be held liable for any falls or injuries that occur.
Poorly Maintained Premises
Any other hazardous conditions, such as broken handrails, wobbly stairs, loose debris, or other tripping hazards, that aren’t quickly remedied or at the very least marked by warning signs can all result in serious slip and fall injuries.
Lack of Assistance
Staff members should help residents bathe, use the bathroom, dress, and get around as necessary—neglecting this is negligence of the most basic care.
