Property owners have an obligation to protect their guests from dangerous conditions. If a homeowner or businessperson fails to address the condition and someone gets hurt, the injured person has a right to make a claim.
“Slip and falls” occur when someone slips, trips, or falls because of one of these hazardous conditions. There are a huge variety of different reasons for slip and falls – icy sidewalks, wet floors, defective stairs, and uneven entryways are some of the most common. People who are injured in one of these accidents can suffer any number of injuries, including broken bones, slipped discs, or head trauma. In very serious situations, such as a fall from a significant height, people can even be killed.
