When a surface is uneven, slippery, broken, or poorly secured, it is very likely that you or someone you love could be injured. Slip and fall and trip and fall incidents can occur anywhere, but are far more likely in areas where safety rules are disregarded or property is poorly maintained. This is especially true when ice and snow are not properly removed after a storm. When a hazard is not repaired the unsuspecting passerby or visitor could be seriously injured as a result.

Types of Slip and Fall or Trip and Fall Cases

There are many ways in which a slip and fall or trip and fall accident may occur. If someone mops the floor in a shop but fails to put out an adequate warning, shop visitors may slip and injure their heads, break bones, or suffer other serious harm. Slip and fall incidents might also occur if ice or snow is left on steps or where the property manager fails to maintain a safe environment for visitors. Loose wires, uneven floorboards, and unstable flooring and ceilings are a few common causes of trip and fall accidents.

Most slip and fall and trip and fall accidents fall under premises liability, which means the property owner or manager is liable for the damage. Property owners are responsible for maintaining their property for visitors, removing hazards and providing warnings where any potential dangers may occur. For example, if there is an icy walkway it should be cleared as soon as possible after the storm ends. If someone is injured by slipping on the ice, the property owner could be liable.

What Should You Do Next?

If you were injured in a slip and fall injury, make sure you know what to do next.

Make sure you write down everything you can remember about the incident while it is still fresh on your mind. Were you offered assistance? What do you think caused your fall? Write down anything and everything. Also, make sure you preserve your footwear and clothing you were wearing when the incident occurred.
