22:07
Slip, trip, and fall accidents are quite common. And most of the times, clumsiness is not the reason behind them. Usually, people are not in fault as they become victims of these accidents due to dangerous conditions on the property of another. It is the responsibility of a property owner to ensure that the premises are free of dangers.
Or if there are any issues like wet floor, they need to put proper warning to warn off people. But, if you slip, trip, fall and get injured due to an accident caused by property owners’ negligence, then you may be eligible for financial compensation by filing a claim for personal injury.
However, before filing a claim, you need to know more about the type and reasons behind your accident.
Slipping – Slipping is the accident when a person slips on a walking surface losing balance. People usually slip due to slippery surfaces like wet floors. It is the responsibility of property owner to warn people about these dangers.
Tripping – Tripping accidents occur when a person’s foot collides with an object on a walking surface, which results in a fall. Damaged floor or an object on the surface is usually the reason behind these incidents.
Falling – Falling accidents usually are a result of slipping or tripping. And, there are two levels of these incidents, one in which the victim falls on the same level.
