In some ways, slip and fall accidents seem relatively harmless. Most people believe you can walk away from a slip, trip, or fall with a simple bruise or scratch. However, such accidents can cause much worse injuries to the victim. Possible injuries include broken bones, spinal injuries, brain injuries, and many others. These injuries could cost the victim thousands, as they try to cover medical bills and lost wages. According to the National Safety Council, the average cost of a slip and fall accident is $28,000. Such incidents are also the number two cause of accident death and disability, second to automobile accidents.

Who May be Responsible?

It may be a complex process to decide who is responsible for your compensation. Depending on where you fell, premises liability may hold the owner of the property responsible. Property owners are legally required to maintain a safe environment, and if they fail to do so, you may be entitled to recover your losses.
