Slip and Fall Injuries and Lawsuits

On Behalf of Garber Law, P.C. | Apr 10, 2019 | Slip & Fall Accident

The common perception of a slip and fall lawsuit is the infamous grocery store scammer who “slips” on water purposefully for compensation. This dramatized disinformation discredits real slip and fall victims who can be severely injured or even killed due to a property owner’s negligence. Below we will discuss the most common types of slip and fall injuries and the proof required to pursue a lawsuit against a property owner.

Slip and Fall Injuries

Injuries related to a slip and fall accident can be more disastrous than you’d think. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that nearly 17,000 individuals perish every year from these types of injuries, and a total of one million require some form of treatment for their wounds. The CDC reports that slip and fall accidents commonly cause injuries like:

  • Bruises
  • Head injuries including traumatic brain injuries
  • Broken bones and fractures
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Long-term medical complications
  • Death

Determining Negligence and Liability

In many cases, slip and fall accidents occur on someone else’s property. The injury may happen on commercial, residential, or government property. When this happens, the lawsuit related to the injury typically falls under premises liability law. Premises liability claims allege that the property owner is legally responsible for any injuries due to their own or an employee’s negligence. In many instances, a dangerous condition that contributed to the injury was both apparent and preventable. If a property owner fails to correct or take steps to correct a dangerous condition, then they may be legally responsible for the financial losses associated with an accident. For a victim to be successful with a premises liability claim, they need to prove:

  • A dangerous condition was present at the owner’s property
  • The dangerous condition directly led to an accident and injury
  • The dangerous condition could have been prevented
  • The property owner should have reasonably known about the dangerous condition

In addition to these factors, courtrooms will also assess how the victim’s own carelessness contributed to the accident or injury. If you were also negligent, then the owner may be off the hook for the full amount of damages. You may be considered partially responsible when you ignored posted warnings, didn’t have a legitimate reason to be in the dangerous area or acted in a reckless manner.
