Common Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents
Slip and fall accidents can occur due to various hazardous conditions, including:
- Wet or slippery floors (spilled liquids, freshly mopped surfaces)
- Uneven pavement (cracks, potholes, unmaintained sidewalks)
- Poor lighting in stairwells or walkways
- Loose carpets or rugs that create tripping hazards
- Cluttered or obstructed walkways
- Unmarked hazards such as construction zones or missing handrails
Property owners have a legal duty to keep their premises safe. When they fail to do so, they may be held liable for injuries caused by their negligence.
Common Injuries from Slip and Fall Accidents
A slip and fall can lead to serious, life-changing injuries, such as:
- Head injuries (traumatic brain injuries, concussions)
- Broken bones (fractured wrists, ankles, hips)
- Spinal cord injuries (leading to paralysis or chronic pain)
- Soft tissue injuries (sprains, strains, torn ligaments)
- Internal injuries (organ damage, internal bleeding)
Even minor falls can result in painful, long-term consequences, especially for elderly individuals or those with pre-existing health conditions.
Who Can Be Held Liable?
Depending on where and how your accident occurred, different parties may be legally responsible, including:
- Property owners (homeowners, landlords, commercial property managers)
- Businesses and retailers (grocery stores, restaurants, shopping malls)
- Government agencies (public sidewalks, city parks, transit stations)
- Hotels and apartment complexes (failure to maintain common areas)
We thoroughly investigate every case to identify who is at fault and ensure they are held accountable for their negligence.
Steps to Take After a Slip and Fall Accident
If you’ve been injured in a slip and fall accident, take the following steps to protect your rights:
Seek medical attention immediately – even if your injuries seem minor. Document the scene – take photos and videos of the hazard that caused your fall. Get witness contact information – statements from others can support your claim. Report the accident – notify the property owner or manager and request an incident report. Avoid speaking to insurance adjusters – they may try to minimize your claim. Call a slip and fall lawyer – legal guidance can maximize your compensation.
At Hoss Law, we will handle all legal aspects while you focus on recovery.

Medical expenses (hospital bills, surgeries, therapy) Lost wages (income lost due to recovery time) Pain and suffering (emotional distress, reduced quality of life) Permanent disability (if the injury leads to long-term impairments) Future medical care (rehabilitation, assistive devices)
