What accounts for over 8 million emergency room visits per year? Here's a hint: it isn't cars, sports, or wild animals. That's right, it's slips, trips, and falls.
A slip, trip and falls case is when a person is injured on someone else's property and it happens a lot.
Case Requirement:
A successful claim has to meet a few requirements. The injury must be caused by the owner's negligence to inspect and maintain their property such as:
- Water
- Grease
- Food on the floor
- Items carelessly left on walkways
- or, unexpected changes in elevation caused by tree roots or poor construction
What to Do After a Slip & Fall
- Take pictures of the scene
- Ask the property owner for an incident report
- Look for witnesses to the accident and get their info
- And of course, get treatment for injuries
If any of this sounds familiar call an attorney they'll provide the next steps to help support your claim.
