Over 8,000,000 people are injured in so-called slip, trip and fall accidents annually. The injuries sustained in these accidents range from scrapes and bruises to broken bones and traumatic brain injuries that mean permanent disability or death. Slip, trip and fall accidents can occur on public property, private property, indoors, outdoors at any time with no warning.

Individual property owners, business owners and municipalities must maintain their properties so as not to cause a hazard to the public. Conditions that may present a hazard are ice and snow covered walkways and stairs, uneven or broken sidewalks, potholes, poorly lit pathways, slippery or wet floors and torn or rippled carpeting.

If you were injured in a slip and fall accident you may be eligible for compensation for your losses involving lost income, present and future medical expenses, rehabilitation costs and pain and suffering. In the event of a death, the survivors may be eligible for compensation for final expenses also.
