A “slip and fall,” refers to a type of premises liability lawsuit that arises when a person is injured after they slip, or trip, and fall as a result of someone else’s failure to keep the area safe. For example, if someone slips on a wet entryway that a grocery store should have mopped up and is injured, a slip and fall has occurred. We include all kinds of unintentional falls under the slip and fall umbrella, including accidents where the victim tripped over something leading to the fall.
