What is a Slip and Fall Accident?

A slip and fall accident is defined as a slip, trip, or fall on another person’s property as a result of negligence on behalf of the property owner or occupier.

More often than not, slip and fall injuries that occur at work are covered under workers’ compensation laws. However, outside of the work arena property owners are responsible for property maintenance and have a duty to keep their premises safe of hazards.

So, before you jump to blame yourself for a slip and fall accident, ask yourself the following questions:

Is the area regularly and properly maintained?
Was there adequate warning around the hazard?
Was there adequate lighting around the hazard?
Were there adequate handrails around the hazard?
Was the property owner or occupier aware of the hazard?

If you answered yes to any of the above questions, you may need to seek legal representation from an experienced slip and fall lawyer.
