Slip and Fall Accidents and Recovering

SLIP AND FALL
ACCIDENTS &
RECOVERING
Common Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents
Wet and slippery floors – all spills should be immediately cleaned and signs should be
placed to warn visitors of wet floors.
Cluttered floors – merchandise or items in aisles or other items that are left out represent
tripping hazards.
Damaged floors and stairways – owners should not neglect broken or loose stairs, torn
carpeting, or loose floors. These can be a hotbed for a slip and fall accident.
Inadequate lighting – if the premises does not provide sufficient lighting that allows an
individual to see stairs, obstacles on the floor or recognize changes in the walkway, it can
result in a slip and fall accident.
When you are injured as a result of the negligence or recklessness of another party, you are
entitled to compensation for:
Past and future medical costs
Loss of past wages
Loss of future earning capacity
Emotional suffering
Loss of consortium
Pain and suffering
Any other out of pocket expenses related to the slip and fall accident

may incur
Your loss of income and any loss of future income caused by a long term or permanent
disability
Non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering

injuries, you can still file a claim for compensation against the party who is at fault).
