Common Causes of Slip & Fall Accidents
Although there is no comprehensive dataset of all types of slip and fall accidents, it is assumed that one of the most common causes is a slippery retail store floor. Many retail stores use tile floors for quick and easy cleaning. But a freshly mopped floor is a hazard to shoppers if there are no warning signs to keep people from walking on the slippery section. Spilled liquids in grocery stores are also serious slip and fall accident offenders.
When you go about your day, you reasonably expect that the places you go will be safe for walking, but this is not always the case. When a property owner or manager fails to take appropriate measures to ensure the safety of walkways, aisles, and other places where people walk, accidents can and do happen.
Examples of Slip, Trip, and Fall Accidents
Slip, trip, and fall hazards can come in many forms, including:
- Slippery floors
- Loose rugs
- Torn carpeting
- Uneven floors
- Damaged or irregular steps
- Exposed cords
- Obstacles in a walkway
- Drops in sidewalk height
- Irregular curb cuts
Injuries That Slip & Fall's Cause
Slip and fall injuries can be serious and may include:
- Strains
- Sprains
- Fractures
- Bruises
- Spine injuries
- Head/brain injuries
Any part of the body that absorbs the impact of the fall can be severely injured, leading to extensive medical treatment and care. In some cases, slip and fall victims will be unable to return to work, either temporarily while they heal or permanently if their injuries are disabling.
What To Do Immediately After a Slip and Fall Accident
After a slip and fall accident, it is crucial to take immediate action to protect your well-being and preserve important evidence. Follow these steps:
- Seek medical attention: Even if you believe your injuries are minor, it is still important to seek medical evaluation. Some injuries may not be immediately apparent or can worsen over time. Prompt medical attention ensures proper diagnosis, treatment, and documentation of your injuries.
- Report the incident: Notify the property owner, manager, or supervisor about the slip and fall accident as soon as possible. Provide a detailed account of what happened, including the location, date, and time of the incident. Ask them to create an incident report and request a copy for your records. This report will serve as an official record of the accident.
- Document the scene: If you are physically able, use your smartphone or camera to capture photographs or videos of the accident scene. Focus on any hazardous conditions that contributed to your fall.
- Collect witness information: If there were any witnesses present during the accident, obtain their names and contact information.
- Preserve evidence: Keep any physical evidence related to the accident, such as torn clothing, damaged footwear, or any objects that caused the fall.
- Refrain from making statements: Be cautious when discussing the incident with others, particularly representatives of the property owner's insurance company. Refrain from providing detailed statements or accepting blame before consulting with a lawyer.
- Consult with a Queens slip and fall lawyer: We can evaluate your case, assess liability, and guide you through the legal process.
