Each year thousands of people suffer personal injury from slip and fall accidents, as the result of another person’s negligence. Slip and falls are one of the leading causes of accidental deaths in the United States.

The term slip and fall, or trip and fall, refers to a situation in which a person suffers an injury from a fall due to an unsafe, hazardous condition. Slip and fall accidents can occur inside or outside and can be caused by various conditions, including water on the ground, poorly lit stairs, rugs that seem to be lose, holes in the sidewalk, etc. If you are injured in a slip and fall accident due to a dangerous condition that the owner knew, or should have known, about he or she can be held legally liable.

In these instances, get the names and numbers of any witnesses to the accident, as well as people who were there after the accident occurred. It is also helpful to take photographs of the dangerous conditions, before the property owner has a chance to fix it. Slip and fall cases can be hard to prove, so it is important to have knowledgeable representation that can help you gather the essential evidence as soon as possible.
