Have you ever experienced a slip and fall accident? Whether you witness someone slip and fall, or you were the victim of the slip and fall, the reaction was likely the same. Victims, for example, might try to get up and walk away as soon as possible. Witnesses might also rush to help victims get up from the floor. Although victims might injure themselves, the embarrassment associated with falling in public might prevent them from stopping to address their injuries or reporting the accident to a party with authority. A few days later, the victims of slip and fall accidents begin experiencing pain or discomfort and later find that they have suffered injuries ranging in severity. Unfortunately, the lack of action immediately after slip and fall accidents can result in the loss of evidence to file a slip and fall injury claim. Did you know you have a right to file a claim for the injuries sustained in a slip and fall accident?

Types of Injuries Sustained in Slip and Fall Accidents

What types of injuries are sustained in slip and fall accidents? Do all victims sustain the same injuries? No two slip and fall accidents are the same—they occur in different locations and under different circumstances. Often, the only similarities between slip and fall accidents include the type of injuries sustained. The types of injuries suffered by slip and fall victims are not always the same since accident locations and circumstances affect the types of injuries sustained. However, the injuries that might be suffered during slip and fall accidents often repeat in different incidents. Patterns of slip and fall injuries reveal some of the most common injuries; the most common injuries are listed below:

• Back and neck injuries
• Broken and fractured bones
• Head injuries
• Hip injuries
• Knee injuries
• Scrapes, bruises, and lacerations
• Spinal cord injuries
• Sprains and strains
• Traumatic brain injuries

If you were a victim of a slip and fall accident, you likely suffered some of the injuries listed above. If you suffered injuries in your slip and fall accident, you must seek legal assistance immediately. Even if you do not believe you suffered major injuries, a medical professional can identify and treat all injuries—even those that are not immediately apparent to you. Seeking medical assistance also creates a clear connection between your injuries and your slip and fall accident. If you wait too long after your accident to seek medical care, it might be difficult to relate your injuries to your slip and fall accident.

Who Is Liable?

You were walking somewhere, experienced a slip and fall accident, and suffered a variety of injuries. Who is liable? Who can be held accountable for your accident and your injuries? Who can you file a slip and fall injury claim against? Slip and fall accidents do not just happen without a cause—they happen because someone failed to do something. No matter where your slip and fall accident occurred, you can be certain that someone had the responsibility to ensure that there were no slip hazards in the area. The liable party depends on where the slip and fall accident happened. For example, employers, store managers, store owners, homeowners, and property managers can all be found liable if a slip and fall accident occurs on their premises. How is liability established? Liability is established through negligence. Did the negligent actions of a party lead to your accident? Negligence consists of four elements: duty, breach of duty, cause, and harm. Depending on where you are, there are parties with the duty to keep you safe and prevent injuries. Let us discuss a few examples:

• Grocery Stores—you are doing your weekly shopping at your local grocery store. You walk towards the dairy case to get the last items on your shopping list. As you are approaching the dairy case, you suddenly slip and fall. The dairy case refrigeration system was leaking and had created a puddle of water that you did not see. There were no caution signs warning you of the spill. Video footage of the moments before your slip and fall accident revealed that many store employees walked by and even stepped on the puddle of water, but no one stopped to clean the spill or place caution signs. Store employees and store managers have a duty to keep all shoppers safe while on their premises. By failing to stop to address the hazard, they breached their duty to shoppers and caused their slip and fall accident and, subsequently, any injuries suffered.
• Workplace—you are working in a warehouse setting. A week ago, a coworker nearly fell off a staircase. Some employees spoke to the employer to voice their concerns about the staircase: the staircase was slippery and should be equipped with stair treads for traction. Although concerned employees voiced their concerns, your employer failed to address the hazard. Two weeks later, you are walking down the staircase when you suddenly slip and fall, suffering back and neck injuries. All employers have a duty to keep their employees safe from harm. By failing to address the safety hazard with the slippery staircase, the employer breached the duty to keep employees safe. The breach of duty caused the slip and fall accident as well as your injuries.
