A slip and fall injury is an injury that occurs when a person slips, trips, or stumbles and falls, sustaining an injury, on another person or business's property.
For example, it’s common for someone to trip over torn carpet, a wet floor, an icy sidewalk or a step he or she couldn’t see due to poor lighting. Loose railings, uneven floorboards or ill-maintained flooring can also cause slip and fall injuries. Injuries can range from sprains and strains to broken bones, cuts, head injuries and more.
