Slip and Fall Injuries
Slip and fall injuries are a particularly common type of accident that can occur when walking on any slippery surface. Slips and falls generally happen on tile, wood, or other smooth surfaces and can lead to serious injuries, particularly for the elderly, injured, or disabled.
If you have sustained injuries from a slip and fall accident, someone else may be liable for the incident. An experienced personal injury lawyer can help hold them accountable and help you receive any compensation you may be due.

Common Causes of Slips and Falls
The primary reason that slips and falls occur is because a floor surface has not been properly cleaned or passersby were not warned of any specific condition to watch out for. Any of the following can lead to slip and fall accidents:
- Recently washed floors that are still soapy or wet
- Liquid spills
- Dirty floors covered in dirt, sand, or mud
- Staff failing to post signage for wet or otherwise slippery surfaces
Premises Liability
Slip and fall accidents are under the legal umbrella of premises liability, meaning that the property owner or manager can be held liable for the accident. Property owners and managers have a legal responsibility to keep their property safe for guests and visitors at all times, and failure to do so can result in a personal injury suit.
Injuries from a premises liability accident, including slips and falls, may be eligible for compensation. A personal injury attorney with expertise in premises liability law can review the details of your accident and determine whether you have the grounds to pursue compensation in court.
