Taking Legal Action For Slip & Fall Injuries

Personal injury claims can arise from various situations. From being harmed while on the job to suffering an accident on another person’s property, if the necessary criteria are met and demonstrated, injured individuals have a right to compensation. Still, it is one thing to say an injury was the result of another person’s negligence, but proving it is something completely different. If steps are not taken precisely, you run the risk of having your case tossed out completely. In today’s blog, your Dallas, TX catastrophic personal injury attorneys discuss the importance of proper adherence to the legal process in slip-and-fall cases, as well as how our team of skilled and experienced lawyers can help you.

Beware of Contributing Factors

A slip-and-fall accident can be a sudden and startling event for anyone. It can occur when a person loses balance and falls, due to a defect or hazard on the walking surface, and results in an injury. If you are lucky, you are able to walk away with nothing more than a bruise or sore hip. For several people, however, injuries may be more severe and potentially life-altering. In many instances, the presence of another factor or condition often contributes to a slip-and-fall accident. The most classic example of this is a person injuring themselves by slipping on a wet floor. In addition to wet or slippery conditions, other factors may include torn or frayed carpet, poor lighting, cords across walkways, and stairs with no handrail. 

When looking to take legal action following an injury, it is important to first consult with a trusted legal authority in the personal injury field. Several circumstances can affect your claim, such as if the injury occurred while you were performing routine job duties, at a grocery store, or trespassing on another person or company’s property. If you were seriously injured or lost a loved one due to a preventable slip-and-fall accident, talk to an attorney for personalized guidance and advice for moving forward with your claim. 

Common Injuries

Injuries and outcomes of a slip-and-fall accident can vary, depending on factors such as height of the fall, age/health of the individual, and more. Though damage can vary significantly, some of the more common injuries our team sees include bone fractures, neck and back injuries, internal injuries, spinal cord damage, and traumatic brain injuries.
