What Qualifies as a Slip and Fall Incident?
A slip and fall incident is a type of personal injury case that occurs when an individual slips, trips, or falls on someone else's property. These incidents can occur on a variety of surfaces, such as wet floors, icy sidewalks, or uneven pavement. A slip and fall incident can result in serious injuries, such as broken bones, head injuries, or spinal cord injuries. Property owners have a legal responsibility to maintain their premises in a reasonably safe condition, and if they fail to do so, they may be held liable for any injuries that occur as a result of their negligence.
Hazards That May Cause a Slip and Fall Accident?
- Wet or slippery floors (from spills, leaks, or recently cleaned areas)
- Uneven or damaged flooring (such as cracks, loose tiles, or torn carpets)
- Cluttered walkways (boxes, cords, or other obstacles)
- Poor lighting (which limits visibility and makes it hard to see hazards)
- Loose or broken handrails on stairs
- Snow, ice, or rainwater tracked indoors
- Sudden changes in floor surfaces (like going from carpet to tile without warning)
- Improperly marked or unmarked hazards (such as missing "Wet Floor" signs)
- Missing or uneven stair treads
- Loose rugs or mats without slip-resistant backing
- Slippery surfaces in bathrooms or pool areas without proper mats
