What Constitutes a Slip and Fall Accident?

It takes less than two seconds to slip and fall, yet the long-term consequences may follow you around for the rest of your life. Some slip and fall accidents are just that—accidents. Many, however, can be attributed to the negligence of the property owner for the location where you had your accident. Determining whether you have a legitimate slip and fall case can be tricky, and requires the advice of a personal injury attorney. In order for the property owner to be found liable for your slip and fall accident, the incident must fit one or more of these categories:

• The accident was the direct result of the owner's actions.

• The accident was not due directly to the owner, but it was caused by dangerous conditions—poor lighting, an icy sidewalk, slippery stairs—that the owner was aware of but did not take sufficient steps to remedy.

• The owner was not necessarily aware of the dangerous conditions, but could have been reasonably expected to notice and remedy them. If the dangerous conditions can be shown to have violated the law, such as a building code, then that will strengthen your claim.

In all slip and fall accident cases, the owner's negligence will be weighed against your own. Did you have a reason for being in the dangerous area? Were you behaving in an alert and cautious way, or was the accident in any way your own responsibility? Discuss your case with a personal injury attorney experienced at handling negligence and slip and fall injury cases to make sure that your claim is airtight.
