Slip and Fall

Charlotte Slip and Fall Attorneys

Experts in Premises Liability Claims

If you were injured after slipping, tripping, or falling due to dangerous conditions on someone else’s property, you may have grounds for a premises liability claim. Property owners have a duty to provide reasonably safe spaces for guests, customers, visitors, and others who lawfully enter their properties; failing to repair or address conditions that could cause someone harm may constitute property owner negligence.

When Is a Property Owner Liable for a Slip and Fall Accident?

While some accidents are truly unavoidable, many slip and falls can—and should—be prevented. If a slip and fall accident occurs as a result of a dangerous property condition that the property owner (or another responsible party) knew of or should have known of but failed to address, the injured individual may seek compensation for his or her damages.

Dangerous Property Conditions

So, what are “dangerous property conditions?” Some examples include:

Spilled liquids/merchandise
Accumulated snow/ice
Cluttered walkways
Uneven flooring
Torn/ripped carpeting
Defective sidewalks
Unmarked hazards (such as holes, puddles, wet floors, etc.)
Unsafe or defective stairs
Lack of hand rails
Improper signage

These and other dangerous conditions can lead to serious slip and fall accidents. If you were injured as a result of a dangerous property condition, you may have grounds for a premises liability case.

Common Slip and Fall Injuries

While some slip, trip, and fall accidents result in relatively minor injuries, others can lead to severe, life-altering injuries, some of which may even be fatal.

Some fairly common slip and fall injuries include:

Broken bones/fractures
Serious cuts and lacerations
Traumatic brain injuries
Spinal cord injuries
Paralysis
Shoulder/elbow dislocation
Knee injuries
Muscle strains
Nerve damage

These catastrophic injuries typically require extensive medical attention and ongoing treatment. Victims will likely lose income as they take time off work to heal. In extreme cases, slip and fall injuries can be partially or totally disabling, rendering victims unable to return to work at all.
