Common Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents

Slip and fall accidents are common, because they can be caused by a wide range of property defects. Trip and fall accidents can take place in indoor or outdoor settings, on residential properties or at places of businesses, and in any type of lighting or weather. Of course, certain factors increase the risk of slip and fall accidents occurring, such as damaged flooring or uncontrolled accumulations of ice. When a property owner negligently fails to maintain reasonably safe conditions on the premises, he or she could be liable for resulting injuries or fatalities.

At The Reiff Law Firm, our Bristol slip and fall injury lawyers have decades of combined experience handling a broad range of complex premises liability claims against negligent business owners in Pennsylvania, including claims involving:

Accumulations of snow and ice that were not properly removed or salted
Broken, cracked, rotten, uneven, or damaged flooring
Dangerous wires, cords, and cables
Defective building materials
Failure to post adequate warning signs when necessary
Faulty steps or stairwells
Poor lighting and visibility
Structural or construction defects

We have investigated slip and fall accidents in all types of settings, ranging from sidewalk slip and fall claims on public property to falls that occur in shops and apartments. Examples of environments where property hazards can lead to premises liability claims include:

Amusement parks and water parks
Apartment complexes
Bars and restaurants
Casinos
Department stores, malls, and shopping centers
Fast food franchises
Grocery stores
Hotels and motels
Office buildings and industrial complexes
Parking lots and parking garages
Sidewalks and walkways
Theatres and music/concert venues

Compensation for Slip and Fall Injuries

To the outside observer, a slip and fall or trip and fall might seem like a minor accident. However, slip and falls are capable of causing debilitating injuries. Certain segments of the population, such as the elderly, are particularly vulnerable to the effects of falls. For example, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that 2.8 million adults age 65 or older “are treated in emergency departments for fall injuries” every year.

The injuries caused by a slip and fall accident could disable the victim for months or years, or even result in wrongful death. Examples of injuries caused by accidental falls could include:

Back injuries, such as cracked vertebrae
Bone fractures (broken bones) and bone bruises
Facial injuries, such as a broken nose or broken jaw
Hand and wrist injuries, which frequently occur when victims try to brace for the fall
Loss of sensation caused by nerve damage
Mouth, lip, and dental injuries, such as broken teeth
Neck injuries, such as a broken neck or soft tissue injury
Permanent scarring and disfigurement
Spinal cord injuries (SCI), which can result in paralysis
Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and other head injuries

These and other injuries can lead to costly medical bills, adding financial strain to an already difficult period. However, by using medical records and other evidence to demonstrate how negligence caused your injuries, it may be possible to recover financial compensation. Recovery may include compensation for an array of expenses and losses resulting from the injury, such as medical bills, ongoing or long-term medical treatment and care, diminished earning capacity, and compensation for pain and suffering. In slip and fall wrongful death cases, additional damages may be recoverable.

"I can’t say enough great things about the Attorneys at the Reiff Law Firm. They made me feel at ease when I was going through a very difficult time in my life. Never being in a situation like this I was so unsure of where to start and how to go about the process. Justin gave me options where I thought I had none and explained everything in a way that I could understand. Justin and the team helped me arrange all of the treatment and therapy that I needed, without them I would have been lost. My attorney John went to bat for me like no one else could have, his knowledge and professionalism is unmatched. If anyone is ever in need of a team of attorneys the Reiff Law Firm is my ONLY recommendation."

"Before meeting with Jeffrey Reiff and Bob Szostak from the Reiff law firm I’ve consulted with a few other injury attorneys in the Philadelphia region. Difference was, these guys know their stuff! I was absolutely blown away by how compassionate and welcome this law firm makes you feel. Once signed with them I never went a single week without staying in the loop with the progress and updates these guys have on your case. Working with them...turned what was an injury case, into a family!...I’ve never felt like a beat was skipped. I’d recommended the Reiff law firm 100%! I’m very comfortable to say there’s no better in the city. The awards they’ve earned over the years speaks for itself! I can never thank the Reiff law firm and Bob Szostak enough for everything they’ve done, their professionalism, compassion and all of their knowledge and experience! Highly rated! Best in the city!...Thanks again Reiff family!"

"...I want to say that the Reiff Law Firm changed my entire life with handling of my legal case. I was in a very serious automobile accident with severe injuries to neck and back areas. I contacted the law firm and asked what to do with the medical bills and how do I get the correct representation against the individual who rear-ended my car. In short, the firm took complete control of the case contacting my insurance company and asking for all the medical bills and legal matters be sent directly to them. I was able to get treatment from my doctor without worrying about the legal stuff. Furthermore, two years later the case was settled for a substantial amount of money. My life was much better due to the firm handling of my case. My attorneys at Reiff Law Firm are absolutely the best and I have recommended to my family friends. Thanks Reiff Law Firm."
