Types of Slip and Fall Accidents and Injuries

Water, ice, debris, and uneven or damaged walkways can all lead to a slip or fall. Determining the type of slip and fall accident you experienced can help identify who should be held liable for your injuries, which can often be serious.

Most slip and fall injuries can be categorized into the following types of accidents:

  • Trip and Fall – a foreign object in your path caused the fall
  • Step and Fall – there was an unexpected hole or other issue with the walkway
  • Slip and Fall – a wet or slick walkway caused you to lose your footing

Common slip and fall injuries that can result from these accidents, include:

  • Head injuries
  • Neck and back injuries
  • Broken bones, including hips and pelvis
  • Torn ligaments and tendons

If you have experienced a slip and fall injury, our West Palm Beach slip and fall attorneys advise you to take the following precautions:

  • Seek medical treatment. Immediately following your accident, seek medical care for any injuries you sustained. Be sure to keep all medical records pertaining to the accident and the treatments you received. You should also photograph your injury and record any changes in your condition.
  • Report the incident. After seeking medical treatment, report your slip and fall accident to the owner of the property. If your accident occurred at a business where an incident report was filed, ask for a copy of the report for your records.
  • Take photos and collect information. As soon as possible, take photos of the area where your accident occurred. It is important to obtain pictures of the area before the owner corrects the hazard that caused you to fall. Also, it is important to collect contact information from anyone who may have witnessed your fall.
  • Keep records. If your injury caused you to miss work, keep a record of the dates and times you were absent, be it from pain and suffering, or a scheduled doctor’s appointment.

Following these steps and acquiring the above-mentioned information is vital for helping your lawyer prepare a strong case in your favor. The West Palm Beach slip and fall attorneys at Gordon & Partners are here to help with all your legal needs to ensure you receive the justice and compensation you deserve.

Who Is Liable for Your Slip and Fall?

Under the law, owners of both public and private properties must keep their properties safe, well-maintained and secured. The condition of the property at the time of your accident will likely determine if the owner can be held accountable for causing your slip and fall injury.

For example, if your injury resulted from broken steps, loose stair handrails, a cracked sidewalk, or a walkway that was not properly cleared of snow or ice, liability may be placed on the owner of the property.

If the condition of the property included permanent or long-standing hazards, such as broken concrete sidewalks that were never repaired or deep potholes in a parking lot that were never filled, the owner of the property can likely be held responsible for your injury.

Additionally, if a property included temporary hazards, such as an icy walkway or a recently mopped lobby with no caution signs present, the owner can also be deemed liable for causing your slip and fall injuries, provided they had sufficient time to learn of the situation and eliminate the hazard.

Ultimately, there are numerous factors to consider when determining who is at fault for your slip and fall injury. This is why it is important to reach out to a trusted legal professional following your accident.

At Gordon & Partners, our slip and fall attorneys have more than 200 years of experience handling personal injury cases just like yours. We have the knowledge and resources necessary to determine who is at fault for your injuries and ensure you receive the financial compensation you deserve.
