Slip and Fall Injury

Slip and fall injury results from slipping, tripping and falling because of the unworthy maintenance of someone else’s property. This usually happens when an area, whether on a staircase, on the corridor, on the floor, or in one’s surface, is slippery or has in it a foreign object that causes a dangerous condition on such property.

When a slip and fall or a trip and fall occur, the corresponding slip and fall injury will eventually come into picture. This will leave the victim of strip and fall injury to suffer not only physical damages, but more so, mental pain, anguish and distress.

We must take note that property owners are required to keep their premises free from dangerous conditions. If they fail to do so, they will definitely be held liable for any injury that might occur on their property. Since a slip and fall case is broadly categorized under premise liability, the negligent property owner can either be sued under slip and fall cases or under premise liability claim.

Therefore, if you have suffered slip and fall injury on another’s property, you must make your claim for damages and compensation against such owner or rightful possessor for he or she has been negligent in complying with the requirements of law on exercising the rightful diligence in the maintenance of the property owned or possessed by him or her.
