Common Cases Our Slip and Fall Attorneys Handle
At Accident Lawyers Injury, our experienced slip and fall attorneys handle a variety of premises liability claims. If you’ve been injured due to unsafe conditions on someone else’s property, we can help you pursue compensation. Some of the most common types of slip and fall cases we handle include:
1. Wet and Slippery Floors
Property owners must ensure floors are dry and safe. Slips caused by spilled liquids, recently mopped floors, or leaks from refrigeration units can lead to serious injuries.
2. Uneven or Broken Flooring
Cracked sidewalks, loose floorboards, and uneven tiles create tripping hazards. If a property owner fails to repair these dangers, they may be held liable for resulting injuries.
3. Poor Lighting in Stairwells and Walkways
Dimly lit staircases, hallways, and parking lots make it difficult to see hazards, increasing the risk of falls. Property owners are responsible for maintaining proper lighting.
4. Cluttered or Obstructed Pathways
Boxes, cords, and other obstacles in walkways can easily cause a person to trip. Businesses and property owners must keep walking areas clear and safe.
5. Loose or Torn Carpeting
Old, frayed, or improperly installed carpets can create dangerous tripping hazards. If a fall occurs due to poorly maintained flooring, the property owner may be liable.
6. Defective or Missing Handrails
Stairways, ramps, and walkways should have sturdy, properly installed handrails. When handrails are loose or missing, falls become much more likely, especially for elderly individuals.
7. Parking Lot and Sidewalk Hazards
Uneven pavement, potholes, and cracked sidewalks can cause serious falls. Businesses, municipalities, and property owners must maintain these areas to prevent injuries.
8. Falls in Retail Stores and Restaurants
Slips and falls frequently occur in stores and restaurants due to spills, wet floors, or cluttered aisles. Business owners must address these risks to keep customers safe.
9. Workplace Slip and Fall Accidents
Slips and falls at work often happen due to unsafe flooring, wet surfaces, or inadequate training on workplace hazards. Injured employees may be eligible for workers’ compensation or a personal injury claim.
10. Nursing Home Falls
Elderly individuals are especially vulnerable to slip and fall injuries. Nursing homes must ensure that floors are safe, hallways are clear, and residents receive proper assistance to prevent dangerous falls.
