Premise Liability
Slip, trip, and falls are common accidents that can result in serious injuries like broken bones, fractured hips, spinal cord injury, head trauma such as brain injury, herniated or bulging discs, shoulder injury, back injury, and muscle and ligament injury. Often, the cause of the accident is negligence on the part of the property or business owner. The law states that the property or business owner must keep the property free from any hazard and in a reasonable and safe condition. Negligence arises when a home or business owner does not exercise proper caution and maintenance and in this case, they may be liable to compensate the injured person for their damages.
Hazards include, but are not exclusive to, the following:
Failure to provide proper lighting
Failure to remove trip hazards like wires, electrical cords, and cables.
Failure to provide proper and adequate handrails as prescribed in building codes.
Failure to eliminate wet flooring
Failure to remove obstacles
Failure to replace deteriorated or worn floor coverings or carpet
Failure to place signs in dangerous areas
Failure to repair sidewalks or fix potholes in parking lots
Failure to keep a walkway clear of snow and ice
Most slip, trip, and fall accidents occur in places like shopping centers, restaurants, and parking lots.
