According to the CDC, over 800,000 people are hospitalized every year from slip and fall accidents in the United States.  These accidents can happen anywhere and at any time. Something as simple as falling can cause a change in a person’s life quickly. But who is responsible for your fall? Can you collect damages for the pain and suffering you have suffered? How do the courts define a slip and fall?

Slip and falls

Slip and fall laws vary from state to state. In Texas, a slip in fall case falls under “premises liability.” In order to win your case, you have to show the guilty party was negligent and that this negligence caused you harm. If you were harmed, you should be compensated for the damages you have suffered as a result of the negligent parties’ behavior.

Injuries

Slip and fall accidents can happen anywhere. It could be your neighbor’s house or a coffee shop. That’s what makes them extremely dangerous, especially is the person responsible does not take precautions to prevent accidents. Slip and fall accidents often result in serious injury. Hip fractures, broken bones, back injuries, and head injuries can all happen as a result of falling. That’s why if you were the victim of a slip and fall, it’s important to get yourself to a medical professional. You need to make sure you’re in good health after a serious accident, such as this. After seeking medical attention, your next call should be to a personal injury attorney. You shouldn’t be on the hook for your medical bills, and lost wages because of someone else negligence.
