Slip and Fall Attorney in
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

A Simple Trip or Slip Can Cause Serious Injury

When grocery store employees do not put up caution signs on wet floors, it can be an accident waiting to happen. Unfortunately, many public places are not maintained as they should be. This can cause people to trip and fall or slip and fall. Even if a person catches themselves, they can still break a wrist, smash an elbow or throw out their back. Sometimes people fall backward and shatter their tailbone, or they suffer whiplash or a serious brain injury.

The Four Things a Slip-And-Fall Case Requires

If you or a loved one falls or trips and is injured, you may have a premises liability case. To win compensation in this type of case four things must be proven. It must be shown that:

• There was a dangerous condition.

• The liable party knew or should have known about this condition.

• The liable party failed to take action to fix the issue.

• The responsible party was negligent.

Slip-and-fall and trip-and-fall cases can happen anywhere. A slippery or uneven surface, clutter, electrical cords, poor lighting and weather can cause a hazard. Property owners, security companies and managers are responsible for keeping the premises safe. When they know about a hazard but fail to fix it, they are liable.

The most common places trip-and-fall or slip-and-fall injuries occur are parking lots, bars and restaurants, workplaces, construction sites, grocery stores, public restrooms and even hospitals.
