Slip-and-fall injuries can be life-changing, impacting finances, relationships, career and health, and causing hardship to victims and their families. These personal injuries can happen in a number of ways, including:
- Falls on a stairway, elevator or escalator
- Slipping on an icy sidewalk, wet floor or other slippery surface
- Tripping on a broken floor, cracked sidewalk or torn carpet
- Falling in a store or shopping center
- Accidents in parking lots, apartment buildings and office buildings
- Accidents involving children, including incidents that occur on school property and in playgrounds
- Injuries occurring on stairs, elevators and escalators
- Injuries that occur because of icy, wet and snowy conditions
- Injuries resulting from broken and damaged sidewalks and streets
- Catastrophic injuries and wrongful death
If you or a loved one was hurt in a slip-and-fall or trip-and-fall accident caused by negligence or unsafe conditions, you may be entitled to a financial award to cover your medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering. Without strong legal representation, though, insurance companies will try to short you or deny your claim, usually by saying that the accident was your fault.
