What Causes Slip & Fall Injuries?

Slip and fall injuries are caused by a variety of circumstances. Generally, both private and public property owners are responsible for maintaining a safe environment for visitors. When they fail to do so, they can be held liable for the injuries their negligence causes these visitors, such as customers, clients, patrons, and more. This liability falls under the legal concept of “premises liability.” 

Common causes of slip and fall injuries can include:

  • Wet floors, generally from spills, cleaning, or weather conditions on outside surfaces as well as icy sidewalks.
  • Uneven or cracked floors, walkways, or sidewalks as well as debris on the walkways.
  • Potholes. 
  • Loose or missing floor mats or torn or loose carpets. 
  • Loose or missing handrails on stairs, railings, decks, or balconies. 
  • Uneven or defective stairs. These can be loose, rickety, worn out, or poorly constructed. 
  • Defective or missing lighting in hallways, aisles, corridors, stairwells, and other pathways. 
  • Negligent security in which you are attacked, causing falls. 

These accidents can occur on all kinds of property, from private residences to commercial properties, such as shopping malls, restaurants, grocery stores, office buildings, sports and entertainment arenas, parking structures, and public spaces, including parks, streets, and government buildings. 

Potential Damages in a Slip & Fall Injury Claims

These claims may result in damages similar to other personal injury claims, including medical expenses for immediate treatment as well as ongoing care or rehabilitation, lost income or wages from having to take time off work, pain and suffering, and emotional distress. For those catastrophically injured, it may lead to loss of enjoyment of life, at-home personal care, renovations to one’s home or vehicle to accommodate a permanent disability, and long-term or indefinite medical care needs. 

As your representative, our firm can ensure you are treated fairly by the insurance company. These are often complex cases in which the at-fault party or their insurers will work to shift the blame to you or otherwise deny their responsibility for your accident and injuries.

Don’t assume that the insurance company or your healthcare provider will look out for your best interests. Attorney Mark Rufo knows what to do, how to investigate and build cases, and how to aggressively fight for you at this critical time.

Have Questions?

We Have Answers!
  • How much is my case worth?
    Every case is unique, and how much compensation you are eligible to receive depends on what evidence we can gather — so we can’t guarantee a certain amount. We can guarantee, however, that we will fight for every last penny you are entitled to for your medical treatment, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and other damages.
  • Why can’t I just accept the insurance company’s offer?
    Insurance companies make their money cheating you. Claims agents are trained to get you to agree to the lowest possible amount, so the company can continue to maximize its profit. The only way to look out for your best interests and ensure that you receive fair compensation is to seek counsel from an attorney who is experienced in standing up to these insurance companies.
  • What if I can’t afford an attorney?
    Personal injury lawyers do not cost anything upfront. In fact, we get paid only when you do — and we receive only a percentage of the compensation we secure for you. This means that not only can you afford high-quality representation, but you know we will be fighting for the maximum possible recovery, because our own pay depends on it, too.
