What is a Slip and Fall Injury?

A slip and fall injury occurs when someone slips, trips, or falls on another person’s property, often due to hazardous conditions like water, snow, ice, or unsafe environments.

Common injuries include:

• Bruising

• Soft tissue injuries

• Muscle strains

• Scarring and disfigurement

• Broken bones

• Concussions

• Torn ligaments or tendons

• Fatalities

Requirements for a Valid Injury Claim

Property owners are legally required to maintain safe conditions for those who enter their premises. This duty of care applies to commercial, private, municipal, and residential properties, as established by common law and the Occupiers Liability Act. Claims typically arise from inadequate maintenance, repair, or protection from hazardous situations.

Steps to Take After a Fall

1. Seek Medical Attention: Prioritize your health and safety by getting necessary medical care.

2. Take Photos: Capture images of the hazardous condition that caused your fall. Ensure the photos clearly show the location and scale of the hazard.

3. Identify Witnesses: Gather contact information from anyone who witnessed the fall or was aware of the hazard.

4. Document Details: Write down all relevant details, including the location, surroundings, and any statements made by others about previous incidents. Keep evidence of your footwear to prevent claims of contributory negligence.

5. Collect Names: Obtain the names of any nearby employees, managers, or property owners.

6. Limit Your Statements: Avoid discussing fault or the extent of your injuries until you’ve spoken with a lawyer. Be cautious when speaking with insurance adjusters.
