Causes of Slip-and-Fall Accidents
In Texas, the victims of personal injuries caused by negligent, intentional, or other reckless actions (or non-actions) can file claims against the parties responsible for their injuries and losses.
When it comes to property owners, it’s expected that they take necessary actions to maintain their properties and keep them safe for visitors. If not, they should at least warn visitors about potential dangers they can encounter while visiting the property.
That’s why if you slip-and-fall while visiting someone else’s property, you may be able to hold them financially responsible for your injuries and all the associated costs.
But do slip-and-falls occur? These types of accidents are more common than you may believe. Some example causes of these accidents could be:
- Slippery surfaces caused by accumulation of liquid, grease, ice, or similar
- Uneven surfaces, such as sidewalks or pedestrian walkways
- Broken stairs or steps
- Broken or loose handrails or guards
- Fraying or defective carpet, which could cause you to slip
Regardless of how you came to suffer your injuries, if they occurred in a slip-and-fall, the owner of the property may be found liable for your losses—which is why these lawsuits fall under the larger category of premises liability.
Compensation for Slip-and-Fall Victims
The amount and type of compensation that is available to you as a slip-and-fall victim depends on the nature and extent of your injuries.
All told, you could be able to recover both economic and non-economic damages for your injuries. Some example include:
- All medical expenses related to the injury
- Lost income and temporary or permanent disability
- Property damages
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Emotional distress
