Common Injuries Caused by Slip & Fall Accidents
Oftentimes, insurance companies and defendants try to play down the severity of a slip and fall accident. They argue that slipping and falling is “not a big deal,” so any injuries that happened because of it couldn’t possibly be serious.
The truth is the opposite, though. According to the National Safety Council, slip and fall accidents are one of the leading causes of serious injuries across the United States, especially when considering older demographics.
Catastrophic injuries often listed in slip and fall accident claims include:
- Neck injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Back injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Joint injuries
- Hip fractures
Our St. Louis slip and fall lawyers at DM Injury Law can help you get the medical care you need and fight for the compensation to pay for it.
Who Is Liable for Slip & Fall Accidents?
Depending on the circumstances of your accident, there are a number of people who could be responsible for your injuries. It might feel natural to blame the property owner immediately, but managers, maintenance technicians, or groundskeepers could be at fault.
- Property Owners: Homeowners, commercial property owners, and business operators may be liable if hazards like icy walkways, wet floors, or uneven surfaces cause a slip and fall.
- Property Managers or Tenants: If a property is managed by a third party or leased to a tenant, that party may be responsible for maintaining safe conditions and could be liable for injuries caused by negligence.
- Government Entities: If a slip and fall occurs on public property (e.g., sidewalks, parks, government buildings), city, county, or state entities may be liable if they failed to address known hazards.
- Maintenance Companies or Contractors: If a third-party company is responsible for cleaning, maintenance, or repairs and their negligence caused unsafe conditions, they can be held liable.
- Product Manufacturers: If a defective product, like flooring materials or cleaning supplies, contributed to the slip and fall, the product manufacturer might be liable.
You need a slip and fall attorney in St. Louis to help you uncover the truth with your case. No matter who is responsible for your injuries, we’ll hold them accountable for their negligence.
