Practice Area

A slip and fall accident occurs when you slip, trip, or fall on someone else’s property due to hazardous conditions. These accidents can happen in various locations, including:

• Retail Stores,
• Restaurants,
• Public Places, and
• Residential Properties (as in homes, apartment buildings, and condominiums).

Slip and fall accidents can be caused by numerous factors, including:

• Wet or Slippery Floors – spills, leaks, or recently mopped areas,
• Uneven Surfaces – cracked sidewalks, loose tiles, or broken floorboards,
• Inadequate Lighting – poorly lit areas can conceal hazards, and
• Lack of Safety Measures – absence of handrails, warning signs, or safety barriers.

If you or a loved one has been injured in a slip and fall accident, it’s crucial to understand your rights and the legal steps to take. The experienced slip and fall attorneys at Nelson Injury Law are here to guide you through the process.

How to Prove Liability for a Slip and Fall Accident?

“Liability” is a legal term that means a party was responsible for an accident or injury. Liable parties in slip and fall cases are typically the owner of the property where the accident victim fell.

Victims can establish liability by showing that a property owner was “negligent,” or failed to act with reasonable care under the circumstances.

You can usually show negligence in these cases by proving that an owner failed to:

• Warn of a dangerous condition on the property,
• Fix or remedy a danger that existed on the property, or
• Generally maintain a hazard-free property.
