Slip and Fall Accidents

A slip-and-fall accident could occur when someone trips and falls because of dangerous, wet, or uneven surfaces. A slip and fall could happen anywhere, in someone’s business or someone else’s home.

To assess the nature of your accident that resulted in your injury, the court will look at the nature and condition of the environment and surface you fell on and the circumstances surrounding your fall.

For example, if you slip on a puddle of water that has been on the ground for an unreasonable amount of time you might be in the right to receive compensation, however, if you slip on water that was recently spilled on the floor within a few minutes of your fall you might not be in the right to receive compensation or even if you were wearing shoes that were too big for you and did not fit correctly.
