Slip and Fall Accident Lawyers

One of the most common types of accidents that can cause injury is a slip and fall. Slip and fall accidents can occur anywhere, such as on a sidewalk outside after tripping over broken concrete, or in a grocery store after slipping on spilled liquid that hadn’t been cleaned up yet. While some slip and fall accidents result in only a few bumps and bruises, others are significantly more serious and result in broken bones, bleeding, and critical head injuries.

Causes of Slip & Fall Accidents

Often, slip and fall accidents can be prevented. In workplaces, hazards like objects blocking the walkway can be removed. In retail spaces, spills can be cleaned up immediately, and signs can be placed to warn customers of wet floors. Parking lot and building managers can ensure that concrete isn’t broken or riddled with holes, and dangerous ice and snow can be managed in the winter by using salt and snow shovels in a timely manner. However, many people responsible for the properties they own or manage fail to eliminate hazards, resulting in a patron slipping and falling.

Getting Medical Treatment After a Fall

If you or a loved one have slipped and fallen, it’s important to get medical treatment right away, even if you feel like you weren’t seriously injured. In many cases, injuries take time to manifest symptoms and you may not begin to feel pain or discomfort until later on after the incident. Getting medical care immediately can identify any problems quickly, and can solidify your case for compensation should you pursue action against the owner or manager of the premises on which you were injured.
