Slip and fall
A fall on someone else's property is not automatically your fault.
What happened
You fell somewhere you had every reason to expect was safe. A store aisle, a stairwell, a parking lot, an apartment walkway.
People often apologise for falling, as though being hurt were clumsiness. Whether anyone was responsible for that floor is a real question, and an attorney can answer it.
What usually happens next
This is general information, not advice about your case. An attorney can tell you what applies to you.
- Report it to whoever runs the property, and ask for a copy of whatever they write down.
- Photograph the spot as it was, including any missing sign or light, before it gets cleaned up.
- See a doctor. Back, hip and head injuries from falls are commonly worse than they first seem.
- An attorney can explain what the property owner was required to do, and whether they did it.
