Types of Slip and Fall Injuries: Slip and Fall injuries can cause numerous types of injuries including broken bones, bruises, scrapes, brain damage, spinal cord injury and even death depending on the severity of the fall. These accidents can require ongoing medical treatment for the individuals involved, thousands of dollars in medical bills plus loss of wages.
Slip and Fall Accidents, in United States tort law, is a claim or case based on a person slipping (or tripping) and falling. It is a tort, and based on a claim that the property owner was negligent in allowing some dangerous condition to exist that caused the slip or trip. Property owners generally have two basic defenses to Public liability slip and fall claims:
* The first defense is that they were not negligent. For example, the owner may claim that the banana that a patron slipped upon had been dropped on the floor only moments ago by another patron, and that, in the exercise of due diligence, a typical store owner acting with reasonable care would not have had time to discover the danger and take steps to mitigate the danger.
* The second and more typical defense is that the person who was injured was at fault. For example, the owner may claim that any reasonable patron, exercising due diligence for his or her own safety, would see a banana on the floor, and take those steps necessary to avoid slipping on it.
For Slip And Fall Investigations, the incident walking surface slip resistance can be measured. The surface can be tested to identify if it is above or below accepted levels of slip resistance thresholds. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
