What types of injuries can occur in an accident caused by unsafe premises?

Though not every slip and fall incident results in an injury, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states that 1 out of 5 falls cause a serious injury such as broken bones or a head injury1.

Anyone can be a victim of a slip and fall incident, but those most prone to injury are young children and older adults. Also, those on medications like blood thinners can be prone to more serious injury after a slip and fall incident.

1. Important Facts about Falls – Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

Common Injuries From Slip, Trip and Fall Accidents Can Be:

Homeowners, Retail Stores, Offices

Who Can Be Held Liable or Responsible For an Injury Caused by Dangerous Property Conditions?

Property owners can be held liable in most slip and fall cases if they are found to have created a situation that led to the accident or knew about a potentially dangerous condition and neglected to repair it.

Personal injury cases from accidents involving dangerous and unsafe premises and property conditions can occur anywhere, including:

  • Homes and private properties
