Too many people are injured while doing every day activities – walking their dog, crossing an office building’s lobby or even just crossing the street – because someone has been careless and not considered the public’s safety.
The term "slip-and-fall" refers to a personal injury case in which somebody slips, falls or is otherwise injured on somebody else’s property. You might also see it referred to as a “premises liability case.” A common premises liability case is that of a person who slips on ice on somebody else’s sidewalk through no fault of their own, though they also occur as a result of wet flooring, unsafe carpeting, poor lighting and other unexpected hazards.
They can occur on private or public property, at malls or homes, and quite often, the property owner denies responsibility. In fact, slip-and-falls represent up to 15 percent of total accidental fatalities and 20 percent of all workers compensation claims. That’s the third highest cause of workplace injuries and the single highest cause of emergency room visits.
Should you be injured in a slip-and-fall case, you can face serious injuries and long recovery times that render you unable to provide for yourself and your family. You deserve to be compensated for your hardship. Should the matter necessitate legal action, more of your money is tied up in covering the legal fees necessary to fund your case.
