Have You Ever Slipped, Tripped or Fallen due to the negligence of someone else?
Slipping, tripping, and falling are common causes of injuries. These normally occur whenever a property owner or manager does not perform the necessary risk assessments for safety. By law, the property owner is responsible for managing the safety measures of the area to prevent or minimize accidents among anyone who is within the premises.
Whenever the safety risks of a place are not assessed and addressed, everyone in that location has the potential to get injured. In the event an accident happens because of safety negligence, there is a legitimate basis to file a claim against the property manager or owner.
Legal Aspects of a Slip, Trip, and Fall Injury
A slip, trip, and fall accident not only causes physical injury but also hurts you financially. For instance, a sprained ankle may result in time off work as well as costly medical bills. A serious head or back injury will do even more damage, as you may need to undergo surgery and long-term care.
