Slip and fall accidents are the most common type of premises liability cases, and occur on a daily basis in the United States. In this situation a person trips and falls, or slips and falls resulting in bodily injury. Unsafe conditions on another person's premises, inadequate maintenance and upkeep, construction defects, and/or inadequate security all pose potential threats for painful injuries. Some examples of premises dangers that may cause a slip and fall injury are broken stairs, slippery surfaces, and broken or cracked sidewalks.
Slip and fall accidents may result in a variety of physical injuries, such as:
- Back and neck injuries
- Broken bones
- Concussion
- Head or brain injuries
- Lacerations and bruises
- Paralysis
- Spinal cord injuries
These and other slip and fall accident injuries may require expensive medical treatments, leave you unable to work for an indefinite period of time, and could possibly result in long term physical disabilities. It is the responsibility of the owner and operator of a property to ensure the safety of all occupants and visitors.
If the property owner exhibits negligent behavior, he or she can be held liable for your injuries. If you hire a South Carolina slip and fall accident attorney at Sanders & Nettles, you may be able to recover the maximum monetary compensation for the slip and fall accident, such as reimbursement for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
