Tampa Slip & Falls
A “slip and fall” or a “slip, trip, and fall” is a type of accident that occurs when a person slips, trips, or falls as a result of a dangerous condition that exists on another person’s property. As a result of the slip and fall, the person will usually sustain an injury, which may vary from minor to extremely severe.
Slip and fall accidents can occur any where, at any time. However, many slip and fall accidents happen due to poor weather conditions, poor lighting, dangerous flooring conditions, or inadequate warnings of hazardous conditions. For example, a person may walk through a store parking lot that is covered in ice and then slip and fall. Or, a person may fall down stairs because the stairs are broken or uneven. The person may then incur substantial physical injuries that will likely need immediate medical attention and treatment.
When a person slips and falls or trips and falls on another person’s property, and he/she is injured, the property owner may be held liable. In the state of Florida, all landowners are responsible for ensuring that their property is free from hazardous conditions, and for making sure that the general public is aware of any dangerous conditions that may exist. If a landowner fails to maintain his/her property and prevent hazardous conditions, and another person is injured while on his/her property, he/she may have to pay damages to the injured party.
