What Is a Slip and Fall Accident?

A slip and fall accident occurs when someone is injured due to a dangerous condition on another person’s property. These cases fall under premises liability law, which requires property owners to take reasonable steps to maintain safe conditions or warn visitors of known hazards.

Conditions That Commonly Cause Slip and Fall Accidents

• Wet or slippery floors
• Loose rugs, mats, or carpeting
• Uneven flooring or sidewalks
• Debris in aisles or parking lots
• Cluttered walkways
• Poor lighting in stairwells or entryways

If a property owner fails to correct or warn about these hazards, they may be liable for resulting injuries.

How Fault Is Proven in Slip and Fall Cases

To win a slip and fall claim, you must show that the property owner knew or should have known about the dangerous condition and failed to take reasonable action. Evidence often includes incident reports, surveillance footage, maintenance records, and witness statements.

Deadlines matter. Many claims must be filed within two years; some notices are shorter—call to confirm your exact deadline.
