Slip and Fall Accidents and Premises Liability

Slip and fall and trip and fall accidents typically fall under an area of law known as premises liability. Property owners and businesses have a responsibility to maintain reasonably safe conditions for visitors. When they fail to do so, and someone is injured as a result, they may be held responsible for the damages.

Common causes of slip and fall or trip and fall accidents include:

  • Wet or slippery floors
  • Uneven sidewalks or walkways
  • Loose carpeting or flooring
  • Poor lighting in stairways or walkways
  • Broken handrails or stairs
  • Debris in walkways
  • Potholes in parking lots
  • Unsafe entryways or exits

These hazards can exist in many locations, including retail stores, restaurants, office buildings, apartment complexes, and private properties.

Where Slip and Fall Accidents Commonly Occur

Slip and fall accidents can happen in a wide variety of settings. In Clearwater and throughout the Tampa Bay area, these incidents often occur in:
  • Grocery stores and retail locations
  • Restaurants and bars
  • Shopping centers
  • Apartment complexes
  • Hotels and resorts
  • Parking lots and garages
  • Sidewalks and walkways
  • Office buildings
Property owners and managers are expected to address dangerous conditions within a reasonable time. When hazards are ignored or not properly addressed, serious injuries can occur.

Slip and fall accidents may seem minor at first, but they frequently result in serious injuries, especially for older adults. Some injuries may require ongoing medical care or rehabilitation.

Common slip and fall injuries include:

  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Neck and back injuries
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Soft tissue injuries
  • Shoulder and knee injuries
These injuries can lead to significant medical expenses and time away from work. Our attorneys work to understand how your injuries affect your life and pursue compensation accordingly.

Proving Liability in a Slip and Fall Case

Premises liability cases often require careful investigation. It is important to show that a property owner or responsible party knew or should have known about the hazardous condition and failed to correct it.

Our attorneys may review:

  • Incident reports
  • Surveillance footage
  • Witness statements
  • Maintenance records
  • Photographs of the accident scene
  • Medical records
Acting quickly after a slip and fall accident is important because evidence may be removed or conditions may change.

  • Medical expenses

  • Lost income and reduced earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering

We carefully evaluate each case and, when appropriate, work with experts to understand the long-term impact of your injuries.
