What Is a Slip & Fall Claim?
Not every fall results in a legal claim. However, when a property owner, business, or other responsible party fails to address dangerous conditions or provide reasonable warnings, they may be held responsible for the injuries that result.
Slip and fall claims are a type of premises liability case involving injuries caused by unsafe property conditions. These cases often depend on whether the hazardous condition could have been prevented or corrected through reasonable care.
Successfully pursuing a claim typically requires demonstrating how the dangerous condition contributed to the accident and documenting the injuries and losses that followed.
Common Causes of Slip & Fall Accidents
Unsafe property conditions can exist almost anywhere, from grocery stores and restaurants to apartment complexes, office buildings, parking lots, and private property.
Common causes of slip and fall accidents include:
-
Wet or slippery floors
-
Uneven sidewalks or walkways
-
Broken stairs or handrails
-
Loose flooring or carpeting
-
Poor lighting
-
Ice or snow accumulation
-
Spilled liquids
-
Cluttered walkways
-
Potholes or damaged pavement
Identifying the hazard that caused the fall is often one of the most important parts of building a premises liability claim.
What Compensation May Be Available?
If your injuries were caused by another party's negligence, you may be entitled to recover compensation for the losses you've experienced.
Depending on the circumstances of your case, compensation may include:
-
Medical expenses
-
Future medical treatment
-
Lost wages
-
Reduced earning capacity
-
Pain and suffering
-
Permanent disability or impairment
-
Rehabilitation costs
-
Other damages available under applicable law
Every case is unique, and the compensation available depends on the specific facts and the laws that apply where the accident occurred.
Why Evidence Matters
Conditions that caused a slip and fall may be repaired or cleaned up shortly after the accident, making it more difficult to prove what happened later.
Whenever possible, it's helpful to:
-
Report the incident
-
Photograph the hazardous condition
-
Obtain witness information
-
Preserve any accident reports
-
Seek medical attention promptly
Early action can help preserve important evidence that may support your claim.
Common Injuries After a Slip & Fall
Slip and fall accidents frequently result in injuries that require extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation, particularly for older adults.
Common injuries include:
-
Broken bones
-
Hip fractures
-
Wrist and arm injuries
-
Back and spinal injuries
-
Neck injuries
-
Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
-

SLIP & FALL FAQs
What qualifies as a slip and fall claim?
A slip and fall claim may arise when someone is injured because a property owner or other responsible party failed to maintain reasonably safe premises or warn of dangerous conditions. Whether a claim exists depends on the specific facts of the accident and the laws that apply.
What should I do after a slip and fall accident?
Seek medical attention, report the incident to the property owner or manager, document the scene if possible, and preserve any evidence related to the accident before speaking with an attorney.
