Common causes of a trip and fall accident

The different factors that can lead to a slip and fall accident are too many to count. Some falls are inevitable or simply result from clumsiness. But when another person’s negligence brings about a slip and fall injury, you could have a strong claim for damages. A discussion with a trip and fall lawyer might help you determine if your injuries could lead to a viable claim. Common causes of a slip and fall include:

  • Broken bones
  • Contusions and bruises
  • Internal bleeding
  • Damaged tendons and ligaments
  • Traumatic brain injuries, including concussions
  • Neck injuries, including whiplash
  • Burns

Liability for a Whistler trip and fall

Not every fall results in a claim for damages. However, if you sustained an injury on another person’s premises, you might have a viable claim. According to the Occupiers Liability Act, a property owner has a duty to ensure a visitor is reasonably safe in using their premises. This duty applies to natural hazards that occur on the property as well as any activities that occur from the defendant or a third party.

If a dangerous condition exists on a property – like an unmarked well or a broken banister – the owner of the premises owes a duty to resolve the hazard. If they fail to do so, they could face liability for any injuries that result from the hazard.

Damages in a slip and fall case

If a property owner is liable for the injuries of a slip and fall victim, there is a wide array of potential damages available. Every case is different, which is why a trip and fall lawyer should carefully review the facts surrounding their client’s case to determine the potential damages available. Common forms of damages in a slip and fall case include:

  • Medical bills
  • Pain and suffering
  • Lost wages
  • Future medical costs
  • Diminished earning capacity
  • Loss of consortium
  • Loss of companionship
  • Mental anguish
  • Permanent disability
