Understanding Slip and Fall Accidents
Slip and fall accidents are common and can happen anywhere, from grocery stores and office buildings to private homes and public sidewalks. These accidents can lead to severe injuries, such as broken bones, head injuries, and spinal damage. At Turnbull Brockmeyer Law Group, we are dedicated to helping victims of slip and fall accidents obtain the compensation they deserve.
Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents
Slip and fall accidents can be caused by a variety of hazardous conditions, including:
- Wet or Slippery Floors: Spills, leaks, or recently cleaned surfaces that are not properly marked.
- Uneven Surfaces: Cracked sidewalks, loose flooring, or worn-out carpets.
- Obstructions: Items left in walkways, such as boxes, wires, or debris.
- Poor Lighting: Inadequate lighting in stairwells, hallways, or parking lots.
- Weather Conditions: Snow, ice, or rain that is not promptly cleared from walkways.
Property Owner Responsibility
Property owners and managers have a legal duty to maintain safe premises for visitors. This responsibility includes regularly inspecting the property, promptly addressing hazards, and providing adequate warnings of any potential dangers. When they fail to do so, and someone gets injured as a result, they can be held liable for the damages.
