Property owners and managers have a legal responsibility to protect the safety of visitors to their property. This includes owners of retail establishments, government entities and owners of residential properties. Slip and fall accidents are some of the most common events causing injury.  Most of the time, a fall may only cause a bruise or skinned hand, knee, or elbow.  Occasionally, these falls can cause more severe and long term injuries including broken bones which require surgery, head and brain injuries, severe spine, back or neck injuries, or a broken hip. When these injuries cause you to lose time at work, to incur costly medical bills, and impact your family life, you may have a valid claim for negligence.  Slip and falls can occur from natural conditions such as ice and snow on sidewalks and parking lots.  Other times, these injuries occur as a direct result of someone else's carelessness in failing to maintain their property in good condition.
