Slip and fall cases are one of the most common types of personal injury cases. They occur when a person slips, trips, or falls due to a hazardous or unsafe condition on someone else’s property. Some of the most common types of slip and fall cases include:
 
  • Wet or slippery floors: This can occur when floors are not properly maintained, cleaned or dried, or when there are spills that are not immediately cleaned up, causing individuals to slip and fall.
 
  • Uneven or faulty surfaces: This happens when walking surfaces like sidewalks or parking lots are not even or maintained, causing a person to trip and fall.
 
  • Poor lighting: When a property owner does not provide adequate lighting, a person may not see hazards such as steps, potholes, or debris, leading to a fall.
 
  • Poorly marked hazards: When hazardous conditions are not properly marked, a person may not see the danger and fall.
 
  • Negligent upkeep: When a property owner fails to provide regular maintenance, inspections, and repairs of the premises, individuals on the property can be put at risk
 
  • Hazardous weather: Ice and snow accumulation or rain, causing surfaces to become wet and slick, leading to falls.
 
These and other types of slip and fall cases can cause serious injuries, such as broken bones, head trauma, back and spinal cord injuries, and more.
