Where do Slip and Fall Accidents Occur—and Who Do They Affect?

Slip and fall accidents can happen nearly anywhere, including public and private property. Some of the most common public places for slip and fall accidents include malls, grocery retail stores, restaurants, and other places with heavy foot traffic. In these settings, injuries are often caused by wet floors, spills, debris, poorly maintained walkways, uneven or crumbling stairwells, and unsteady banisters. Falls may also occur in areas that are poorly lit and leave visitors unable to see obstacles in their path.

Private premises may include standalone homes, apartment buildings, condominiums, and townhomes. Property owners are responsible both for conditions in their home and those outside of it. For example, uneven stairs or jiggly banisters can lead to falls, as can walkways with deep holes or uneven blocks.

Anyone can be affected by a slip and fall, but younger individuals are less likely to be seriously affected than older individuals. Children can suffer severe injuries in certain circumstances, but in general, they are more likely to bounce back without any major injury. Those who fall into the aging or elderly category usually have the poorest outcomes. Falls are the leading cause of hospital visits in the United States, and a leading cause of injury for adults aged 55 and older. The worst outcomes include hip fractures, which completely limit a victim’s mobility during the recovery period and lead to more serious health conditions, and other types of fractures.

Gathering Evidence for Your Claim

If you are injured in a slip and fall accident, you will need evidence to back up your claim and pursue compensation. Pictures and video footage are excellent types of evidence, but you generally need to secure them right away—odds are good that the hazard will be repaired and in safe condition by the time you return to it. Use your phone to capture the flooring or ground conditions where you fell, what caused you to fall, and the initial stage of your injuries. If your fall occurred in a public space, you may also be able to request surveillance footage.

Medical documentation from your healthcare provider is a crucial part of your claim. This documentation can show the severity of your injuries and prove that your injuries are consistent with the fall you experienced.
