Slip & Fall?
“Slip and fall” injury occurs when a person falls and is hurt due to some type of hazard. These types of accidents most often occur in commercial settings, such as a mall, department store, restaurant or other business location. However, they can also occur on private property, which is typically referred to as a premise liability accident. Such accidents could be a dog bite, amusement park accident, or exposure to dangerous substances.
The conditions causing such injuries may stem from hidden dangers, such as a hole in a poorly maintained sidewalk. Other causes for such accidents are temporary conditions, such as wet or greasy floors. This means that it is important to pursue such claims quickly so that the situation can be investigated as soon as possible.
