Slip & Fall Accidents

The Basics

Slip and Fall Accidents

Slip and fall incidents are fairly common and can cause a wide range of serious injuries including breaks and fractures, back and spinal injuries, and traumatic brain injuries. Many people who are injured by a slip and fall accident find themselves overwhelmed with mounting medical bills and unable to go about normal daily activities such as working, picking up children, or even going to the grocery store.

To successfully pursue a slip and fall claim in North Carolina, we will have to identify the owner of the property where the incident happened. Then, we have to determine whether the owner of the property knew or should have known about the property hazard that caused your injury. If we can prove these things, then you could be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost income, and more.

Slip and fall injuries can occur as a result of:

• Wet floors
• Lack of warning signs
• Ice and snow
• Loose carpeting or tile
• Poor lighting
• Uneven walkways
• And more
