A trip and fall accident can occur at any time, anywhere, for a variety of reasons.

Common causes of trip and fall accidents include:

  • Obstructed walkways
  • Uneven surfaces
  • Cluttered hallways or aisles
  • Poorly lit areas
  • Unstable surfaces

What Are Common Places Trip and Fall Accidents Occur?

Trip and fall accidents commonly occur in the following places:

  • Elevators
  • Escalators
  • Sidewalks
  • Stairs
  • Retail stores
  • Restaurants
  • Job sites

Who is Responsible for a Trip and Fall Injury?

If you trip and fall on a commercial or residential property and the accident was caused by the negligence of the property owner or manager, they may be held liable for your accident-related damages.

A trip and fall accident often occurs due to the negligence of the person who owns, maintains, or controls the property. For your trip and fall injury attorney to prove negligence, they must show that:

  • The property owner or manager owed you a duty of care
  • The property owner or manager breached their duty
  • The property owner or manager’s breach of duty resulted in your injuries
  • You suffered damages due to the accident

Proving a trip and fall case can be challenging. The property owner or manager may try to clean up or repair the dangerous conditions on their property before you have time to gather evidence. Because of this, you must contact an attorney as soon as possible. When you hire a trip and fall injury attorney at Parker Waichman LLP, they will get to work right away, investigating the accident, gathering evidence, and building a strong case for compensation.

The evidence we may gather can include:

  • Video footage (if available)
  • Photos of the dangerous conditions
  • Photos of your injuries
  • Medical records and medical bills
  • Incident reports

And other relevant evidence that can support your trip and fall claim.

Common Trip and Fall Injuries

A trip and fall accident can result in serious injuries that can have lifelong effects. Unfortunately, many types of trip and fall accidents are caused by the negligent actions or inaction of the property owner. At Parker Waichman LLP, our legal team has handled many trip and fall accident cases over the years that involved the following types of injuries:

Spinal Cord DamageWhen a person trips and falls they can fall backward. The impact on their back can cause damage to the nerves or discs. It can also cause damage to the spinal cord.
Head and Traumatic Brain InjuriesWhen a person trips and falls it can put the head at serious risk of contact with the ground. The impact on the brain may result in a serious traumatic brain injury. With a TBI, the damage done can be permanent, requiring extensive long-term medical treatment.
Broken BonesWhen a person trips and falls, they instinctively may put their hands out to soften the impact on the rest of their body. This puts their arms, wrists, fingers, and hands at risk because the impact can cause fractures or break bones.

Many of the types of injuries sustained in a trip and fall accident can be serious, requiring medical treatment for weeks, months, or the rest of the accident victim’s life. Because of this, you must seek legal representation as soon as possible so you can continue to receive vital medical care that will aid in your recovery.
