Common Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents
Slip and fall accidents often occur because property owners fail to maintain a safe environment for visitors. Understanding the cause of your accident is crucial to holding the responsible party accountable. Some common causes include:
- Wet or slippery floors–Spills, leaks, or recently mopped floors can create a slipping hazard, especially when no warning signs are posted.
- Uneven surfaces–Cracked sidewalks, loose tiles, and poorly maintained floors can trip unsuspecting visitors.
- Cluttered walkways–Objects left in walkways, such as boxes or equipment, can cause a person to stumble and fall.
- Inadequate lighting–Dim or burned-out lights in hallways, parking lots, or stairwells can make it difficult to see potential hazards.
Gill Law Firm will conduct a thorough investigation to identify the cause of your fall, gather evidence to build a strong claim and work to hold the negligent property accountable for your injuries.
Common Injuries in Slip and Fall Accidents
Slip and fall accidents can cause injuries that range from mild to severe. Even a minor fall can lead to lasting pain and discomfort. Common injuries include:
- Sprains and strains–Falls can cause damage to muscles, tendons, and ligaments, often requiring physical therapy for recovery.
- Broken bones–Wrists, arms, hips, and ankles are particularly vulnerable during falls, and fractures can require surgery or long-term care.
- Head injuries–A hard impact during a fall can lead to concussions or more serious traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), affecting memory and concentration.
- Back and spinal injuries–Falls can injure the spine, resulting in chronic pain, nerve damage, or, in severe cases, paralysis.
It’s essential to seek medical attention immediately after a fall, even if injuries don’t seem severe. Proper documentation of your injuries will strengthen your case and ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.
Proving Negligence in a Slip and Fall Case

- Breach of duty–They failed to maintain safe conditions or address a known hazard.

Our team will gather evidence, such as accident reports, photographs, and witness statements, to build a compelling case. Trust us to hold the responsible party accountable and secure the compensation you need to move forward.
