It is common for fall victims to suffer head injuries , broken bones, and neck or back injuries that require surgical repair. Serious slip and fall injuries create costly medical bills, force you to take time off from work, often make it harder to take care of your family and, of course, your pain and suffering.

SOME CONDITIONS THAT CAUSE SLIP AND FALLS:
Slip and fall injuries can be caused by many different things. Sometimes they are caused by a natural condition, such as rainy sidewalks during the summer or even unnatural conditions such as wet grocery store aisles. However at other times the injury may actually be cause by someone else’s carelessness or negligence. Examples that can cause slip and falls include:
- Poorly lit stairwells
- Mats that get folded
- Rugs bunched up, torn, worn out or that slip
- Uneven patched of ground, floor or sidewalk
- Hazardous conditions
- Water or liquids left unattended
- Broken or defective porches
- Broken, defective or poorly designed stairs or stair rails
- Broken up or uneven pavement
- Oily or wet spots form spilled or leaked materials
- A freshly mopped floor
While these may all seem like serious maintenance deficiencies, not every accident that occurs on another person’s property from these example conditions create liability for the property owner. Whether the owner is liable depends upon the specific circumstances.
