| There are many different types of defects on the ground
that can cause people to slip and fall. Determining what
a property owner knew or should have known about a dangerous
condition at for instance, a grocery store, a workplace,
or a stairway is an important aspect of a slip and fall
injury claim. It is important to take photos of the defect
as quick as you reasonably can to document the defect. |
| |
| Typical injuries resulting from slip-and-fall accidents
range in severity. A victim may sustain bruises, broken
bones, and scrapes that require minimal medical treatment
and heal relatively quickly. Other victims suffer a catastrophic
personal injury a brain injury, spinal
cord injury, or
burn injury that causes lifelong damage and requires
ongoing medical care. In the worst case scenario, the victim
dies because of his or her injuries. If this is the case,
and the accident occurred because of the property owners
negligence, then the death is considered a wrongful death
and can be litigated as such. |
| |
If you or a loved one has sustained a slip-and-fall
injury, contact a lawyer to determine your eligibility
for filing a premises liability lawsuit. If you have a
viable case, you may pursue compensation for
damages, including
compensation for your injuries, pain, suffering, and lost
earning potential. |
