Slip and fall injuries account for a large percentage of personal injury cases. The four major types of slip and fall accidents include those in which an individual loses traction and slips, when an individual stumbles over an obstruction on a walkway, when an individual loses their balance due to uneven surfaces, or when an individual trips over a foreign object and falls. While an experienced personal injury lawyer can help defend your legal rights following a slip and fall injury, it is important to understand how premises liability plays into personal injury claims.
While some slip and fall injuries may result from hazardous weather conditions including rain, ice, or snow, most slip and fall injuries take place on someone else’s property due to the presence of dangerous conditions or obstacles. For example, individuals may suffer from a slip and fall injury due to poorly designed or ill-maintained stairs, torn carpeting, inadequate lighting, changes in flooring grades, and a lack of warning signs.
Personal injury law maintains that property owners, including individual homeowners and commercial property owners, have a responsibility to provide a certain duty of care to visitors on their premises. In order for premises liability to apply to a slip and fall injury, the injured party must prove that the other individual owed them a duty of care, that the property owner did not exercise reasonable care or acted in a negligent way that ultimately led to the slip and fall injury.
When a property owner is found liable for a slip and fall injury he may be held liable for a number of expenses, including the costs of coverage for the injured party’s medical expenses, loss of income, pain and suffering, and punitive damages.
Whether you’ve suffered a slip and fall injury or a car accident, the personal injury lawyers with MacDonald & Swan are here to help. Contact our Oakville office at (289) 813-1150 to set up an initial consultation.
