Slip and fall injuries are the most common accidents responsible for premises liability lawsuits. A slip and fall injury occurs when a hazardous condition on another person's property causes you to slip, trip, or fall. Often, injuries sustained in slip and fall accidents can be very severe, including:
- Broken bones
- Brain injury
- Back injury
- Wrongful death
In order to have a valid slip and fall claim, your accident must have been caused by the property owner's negligence in maintaining safe conditions.

What to Do after a Slip and Fall Accident
It is important to take the proper steps immediately following your accident to ensure that all important details of the incident are accurately documented. The success of your claim may depend on how well you document the events of the accident.
If your accident occurred at a public place such as a shopping mall, supermarket, restaurant, or business establishment, it is important to notify the manager on duty immediately and fill out an accident report. This report should include the date and time of the injury, a description of what happened, and names of any witnesses who can corroborate your story.
You should also document the conditions at the scene. If your injuries were caused by poor lighting, hazardous floor conditions, unsafe steps, or any other condition that the property owner is responsible for maintaining, it is important to get proof of these conditions before the accident scene is altered. For example, if your injury is caused by a wet or slippery floor, you will want documentation of this before an employee cleans up the mess. If you have a camera or a cell phone, you should take pictures of the scene.
Seek medical attention immediately. It is important to document your injuries as soon as they occur so that you can have a medical expert testify that your injuries were in fact caused by the slip and fall accident.
Once you have attended to your injuries, you should consult an experienced slip and fall attorney at once. Often, there are statutes of limitations in premises liability claims. Therefore, to ensure that you do not miss any important deadlines in filing your claim, you will want to hire representation as soon as possible.
