SLIP & FALL INJURY

Slip & Fall Injury

Accidents which result in slips, trips or falls can result in injuries ranging from soft tissue and muscle damage to multiple fractures, muscle and ligament tears and in most severe cases, injuries of the spinal cord, traumatic brain injuries and even death.

Slip, trip and fall accidents can be caused by a wide range of circumstances such as adverse weather conditions, lack of proper maintenance and repairs to pavement, and even something as simple as failure to clean up a spill by the staff at your local supermarket.

The process of filing a claim for compensation resulting from a slips, trips or falls is unique in the senses that it is absolutely imperative to identify the responsible party. In some cases there may be more than one party that contributed to the negligence which resulted in the victim’s injuries. Furthermore, there are strict time limits applicable to filing of these claims which can be as short as 10 days. Missing these important limitations can result in having a claim “statute-barred” which means that a victim is no longer able to file a claim altogether.
