A Slip and Fall Injury Claim

Slip & fall accidents occur when someone is not aware of a hazardous element on the property of another and they inadvertently slip, trip and fall. These kinds of accidents are very common, second only to car accidents. Although they are often minor and of little consequence, they can sometimes cause serious injury. Common places where people have slip and fall injuries are grocery stores, shopping malls, parking lots, restaurants and at their worksites. 

Proof of liability is needed to make a slip and fall case, which means there must have been some negligence on the part of the property owner, such as not providing adequate warning signs around a liquid spill.  It is important to take detailed notes of exactly what occurred and who the witnesses are, as well as to take pictures of the scene of the accident if possible.
