Slip and Fall
Slip and fall accidents occur when an individual slips, trips, or falls as a result of a dangerous condition on someone else’s property. These incidents can happen anywhere – from commercial properties like shopping malls and restaurants to private residences and public spaces. The causes are varied, including wet floors, uneven surfaces, poorly lit areas, or unmarked hazards.
The injuries from these accidents can range from minor bruises to severe, life-altering conditions such as head injuries, spinal cord damage, or broken bones. These injuries not only cause physical pain but can also lead to significant financial burdens due to medical expenses, lost wages, and long-term rehabilitation costs.
In both California and Illinois, premises liability laws govern slip and fall accidents. These laws require property owners to maintain their premises in a reasonably safe condition. To claim compensation, the victim must prove that the responsible party knew or should have known about the hazardous condition and failed to address it.
