Being involved in a slip and fall accident is typically a sudden occurrence that can have serious consequences for accident victims. A significant number of these accidents result in injuries that are considered minor and victims can recover from them with little intervention. However, slip and fall accidents can occur that leave those involved with very serious injuries.
The possible causes of slip and fall accidents are great in number. The most common of these include wet or slippery walkways, cracks or holes in surfaces that go unnoticed by unsuspecting persons that may come across them in their path, bad weather conditions, and objects in walkways that individuals may trip over. Among the most common places or areas where injury causing slips, trips, and falls occur are public swimming pools, curbs, construction sites, stairwells, sidewalks, grocery stores, and shopping malls.
Premises liability law outlines the provisions for those who have been injured due to a slip, trip, or fall accident caused by the negligence or misconduct of those responsible for maintaining the safety of the premises where an accident has occurred. These incidents can cause injuries that victims are forced to deal with for the long-term and require extensive medical treatment or rehabilitative care. In these cases, getting life care planning assistance may be necessary for the most effective assessment of one’s damages to be factored into claims for compensation.
