3 Common Types of Slip and Fall Claims

Slip and falls can happen anywhere, but three of the most common types of slip and fall claims result from:

  1. Dangerous Conditions
    Floors have to be mopped, and shelves have to be restocked. But when businesses or maintenance companies fail to warn the public about possible safety hazards, they can be held liable for damages.
  2. Defective Construction
    Uneven sidewalks, broken railings, and loose carpeting are just some of the types of preventable safety hazards that can result in a slip and fall injury.
  3. Inadequate Maintenance 
    Failure to address or prevent wet floors, snow, ice, and other dangerous conditions can lead to serious injuries, such as broken bones and traumatic brain injuries.

Determining liability for slip and fall accidents can be complex and confusing. Claims may involve hired maintenance contractors, government entities, and other parties besides just property owners. We have more than 40 years of legal experience in Missouri and Southern Illinois, and we know what it takes to build a strong claim.
