Slip and Fall Accidents
What is a Slip and Fall Accident?
A slip and fall accident is exactly as it sounds: a slip on something on the ground, causing a fall and an injury. A variety of substances can cause a slip, including oil, food, an uneven surface, a loose rug, etc. The fall doesn't have to be far - even a few feet will suffice. What really determines whether you have a case is the severity of your injuries.

If the property owner fails to maintain their premises in a safe condition and you are injured, you may have a lawsuit for your slip and fall accident.
