Understanding Slip and Fall Cases

When people refer to slip and fall claims, they refer to personal injury lawsuits where an individual files suit after sustaining an injury from tripping, slipping, or falling on property belonging to another person or entity. A slip and fall lawsuit gives the injured party the legal right to pursue financial damages against the:

• Homeowner
• Landowner
• Business manager
• Caretaker
• Other person who is legally responsible for maintaining the safety of the premises

Slip and falls are types of premises liability claims that allow lawsuits against property owners or caretakers who fail to keep their property in a reasonably safe condition for visitors.

To succeed in a slip and fall lawsuit, an injured party must show that another person or entity’s property had hidden hazards that caused them to fall. Some of the most common types of dangerous conditions on a property that could cause a person to slip, trip, or fall are:

• Wet or slippery floors
• Uneven interior walking surfaces due to loose floorboards, protruding electrical cords, or ripped or bunched carpeting

• Inadequate lighting
• Broken stairs or handrails
• Broken elevators or escalators
