According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), falls are the leading cause of traumatic brain injuries and the third-leading unintentional cause of death in the United States. We may not think about the dangers of falling injuries often, but the simple fact is that a hard fall can do a lot of damage to our bodies. More than 2.5 million adults visited the E.R. in 2013 after suffering from a non-fatal fall.
Falling injuries, often referred to as “slip-and-fall” injuries in the legal world, can cause severe injuries and can lead to hospitalization, surgeries, broken bones, fractures, brain injuries, impaired mobility, and even death. Fall injuries often make it difficult to live and function independently.
When we visit another person’s or organization’s property—whether it is a house, business, or public area like a park or government office—we expect that the property owner will keep it well-maintained and that we shouldn’t be at risk of falling on the premises. Property owners have a legal responsibility to protect visitors from falling accidents as well as all other types of accidents. This is an area of law called premises liability.
When a property owner fails to uphold this responsibility and a non-trespassing visitor suffers from a falling injury on their property, that individual can be held legally liable for the victim’s injuries. By filing a slip and fall claim against the property owner, you can hold the individual or business accountable and potentially receive help getting your life back on track.
