Slip and Fall

Indoor injuries resulting from a fall can be very serious and cause significant harm to health. In the United States, a person has every right to bring the owners of the premises to justice, but this requires the help of a lawyer. It is necessary to prove that the person is not to blame, and the accident occurred through the fault of the owner of the premises or the adjacent territory.

Naturally, if the injury is serious, no amount of money can compensate for what happened. While this is true, U.S. laws help to achieve justice and material compensation for the physical and moral damage caused to a person. In the United States, all accidents that occurred indoors or in the surrounding area are the responsibility of their owners or general managers. Owners of the premises and the adjacent territory are obliged to maintain their real estate and property in a safe condition for people. They are obliged to repair, install, and change the necessary fences on time, must make sure that there are handrails, and that the floor covering is not slippery or dangerous. If something is not taken into account, all responsibility for the affected people lies with the owners of the premises.

Very often, older people suffer from falls. The most common injuries are hip fracture, concussion, head bruises, fractures of legs and arms, and ligament ruptures.

The most common categories of injuries in case of falling are: –

A man stumbled and fell because of foreign objects that should not have been in his way.

– A person slipped on a wet or slippery floor, fell and was injured.

– A person took a step and fell because there was suddenly a hole in the floor on his way or there was no necessary fence.

There are also special circumstances. Injury is not always the owner‘s fault. They have the right to hire a lawyer and prove that they had done everything in the territory of his property to make it safe for people. The injured person themself is to blame for being injured, for example, if they were intoxicated and committed unsafe actions.

If the owner was aware of the existing danger, but did not do anything to eliminate it, he will be criminally liable.
