“Slip & fall” or “Trip & fall” are generic terms used to describe an injury related to falling that occurs as a result being subjected to a dangerous and/or hazardous condition on someone else’s property.
Hazardous conditions exist due to a variety of reasons. Some examples include weather-related causes (the presence of ice, water or snow), strucutural changes (a change in flooring for instance), poor construction (uneven floor surfaces, broken sidewalks, uneven elevators) or other hazards such as poor lighting, etc.
If you have been hurt on someone else’s property due to dangerous conditions, they may be liable for your injuries and it is important to speak with a knowledable Slip & Fall Lawyer as soon as possible.
