Slip and Fall Accidents / Premises Liability

 

More than 2.2 million people seek treatment in an emergency room for falls on stairs, ramps and floors.

 

Slips and falls are the main source of injury and death for people 65 and older. In home settings in 2003, there were approximately 7,500 deaths to victims 65 and older (6,200 of these fatalities were to persons 75 and older.) When older people fall, their risk of serious injury or death is much higher than that of the general population.

 

An individual who is injured as a result of slipping (or tripping) and falling may have a claim against a property owner who negligently allowing a dangerous condition that caused the slip or trip to exist.
