A trip and fall accident is similar to the concepts and laws in a slip and fall accident. Rather than a slick or wet surface causing the fall, it is rather an obstruction that forces a person to trip and fall. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), floors and flooring materials contribute directly to more than 2 million fall injuries each year. If you or a loved one has been injured in a trip and fall accident on a third party’s property, you may consider speaking to an attorney about filing a lawsuit.
A trip and fall accident can occur from a few things. There can be items fallen from the walls or items that other people have dropped that block a walkway, floor imbalances, falling down the stairs, and more. These trips can cause some severe injuries, including broken or fractured bones, possible concussions, or spinal injuries. If the trip is from a height, for instance down a flight of stairs, then it is likely that these types of injuries will be the most severe. If a person on this property trips and falls due to these obstructions, then the property owner can be found liable for their injuries.
Premises liability laws protect visitors and licensees by giving them the right to sue property owners when they are injured on their property. Property owners owe them a duty of reasonable care to prevent any injury and try to ensure their safety. When this duty is breached, and you can prove that your injuries were directly caused by this negligence in reasonable care, then you may have a viable case for a premises liability accident.
