Standing Up for Victims of Negligence
Slip or Trip and fall accidents can happen anywhere—at the grocery store, a friend’s house, or even at work. These incidents may seem minor, but they can lead to serious injuries that impact your daily life. If you’ve been injured due to a slip and fall accident caused by someone else’s negligence, you deserve to know your rights. At Aloia|Roland, our experienced slip and fall attorneys are here to help you pursue the compensation you need to recover.
Understanding Slip and Fall Accidents
A slip and fall accident occurs when an individual slips, trips, or falls due to unsafe conditions on someone else’s property. Property owners have a legal obligation to maintain their premises and ensure the safety of visitors. When they fail to do so, they can be held liable for any injuries that result. Common causes of slip and fall accidents include:
- Wet or Slippery Floors: Spills, cleaning products, or weather conditions can create hazardous walking surfaces.
- Uneven Surfaces: Cracks in sidewalks, uneven pavement, or loose carpeting can cause individuals to trip and fall.
- Poor Lighting: Inadequate lighting can make it difficult to see potential hazards, leading to accidents.
- Obstructed Walkways: Items left in walkways, such as boxes, equipment, or other debris, can create tripping hazards.
- Inadequate Signage: Failure to post warning signs about hazardous conditions can lead to preventable accidents.
Common Injuries from Slip and Fall Accidents
Slip and fall accidents can result in a wide range of injuries, some of which may require extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation. Common injuries include:
- Broken Bones: Fractures in the wrist, ankle, hip, or other bones are common in slip and fall accidents.
- Head Injuries: Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) can occur if the head strikes the ground or an object during a fall.
- Sprains and Strains: Twisted ligaments or muscles can lead to significant pain and limited mobility.
- Spinal Injuries: Injuries to the spine can result in chronic pain or long-term disability.
- Soft Tissue Injuries: Bruises, cuts, and lacerations can result from falls, leading to both physical and emotional trauma.
Proving Negligence in Slip and Fall Cases
To successfully pursue a slip and fall claim, it’s essential to prove that the property owner was negligent. This typically involves demonstrating:
- Duty of Care: The property owner had a legal obligation to keep the premises safe for visitors.
- Breach of Duty: The owner failed to address a hazardous condition or did not take reasonable steps to maintain a safe environment.
- Causation: The unsafe condition directly caused your slip and fall accident and resulting injuries.
- Damages: You suffered measurable damages, such as medical expenses, lost wages, or pain and suffering, due to the accident.
