Slip and fall is the generic term for an injury that occurs when someone slips, trips, or falls as a result of a dangerous or hazardous condition on someone else’s property. The fall could be on a public street, in someone else’s home or apartment building, a store or a professional office. Slip, trip, and falls include falls as a result of water or ice, as well as abrupt changes in flooring, poor lighting, or a hidden hazard, such as a gap or hard to see hole in the ground.

If you are on someone else’s property and injure yourself as a result of a dangerous condition on the property, the land owner or business proprietor may be liable for your injuries. The responsible party has the duty to correct hazardous situations on their property to avoid such falls and injuries. When the land owner or business proprietor fails to correct these problems, and someone injures himself or herself, the injured party may have a valid case to recover medical bills and other damages.
