Causes of a Slip & Fall Accident
There are four common things that cause slip and fall injuries. They are:
- Stepping on something slippery
- Stepping into a hole or crack
- Stepping on something that impedes your foot
- Tripping over a foreign object
You cannot defy gravity. If you lose your balance because of slippery flooring or lose your footing on an unlit staircase, you will fall. Your injuries might include broken bones, cuts and bruises, sprains and even paralysis. The person responsible for your fall should be held accountable, and you have a right to seek compensation for your damages, including your medical bills, lost wages and pain and suffering, among other things. An attorney can review your case to see if you're entitled to file a claim.
