Slip and Fall Lawyers Chattanooga

Slip, Trip and Fall Accidents Overview

“Slip, trip and fall” is a name for situations where a person is injured by slipping or tripping and falling due to a dangerous or unreasonable condition on the premises. The fall can happen inside or outside of the property, and conditions such as a wet floor, bad flooring, poorly lit steps, a slippery sidewalk, a weather related situation, escalator, elevator, swimming pool or any hidden hazards can cause the accident.

Slip, trip and fall accidents are by far the most common type of premises liability cases in which property owners and businesses have a duty to provide a safe environment for people on their property. Accidents can result in death or serious injuries such as broken bones, amputation, traumatic brain injury, neck & back injuries, and spinal cord injuries.

Hazardous conditions related to premises liability claims include:

• Uncleaned snow
• Rotted floors or steps
• Clear ice
• Improperly secured mats and rugs
• Hidden drop-offs
• Pot holes
• Substances or water on floors
• Electrical cords

A property owner may be liable for the injury of a visiting person under the following circumstances:

If there is a failure to maintain the property by the owner or owner creates a condition that may result in injury or damage to another’s property.
If the owner knows of a danger and is aware that others will come onto to his or her property, but does nothing to eliminate the hazard, erect barriers, or warn others of the condition

If the owner’s actions – or inactions – cause damage to his or her neighbors’ property

Do Not Rely On Insurance Companies

Do not accept any claim before you speak with an attorney. Many large insurance companies have adopted settlement policies that encourage their adjusters to offer quick payments to persons involved in an accident. Insurance adjusters will contact you or your family shortly after an accident to try to gain your confidence. In doing so, insurance adjusters often try to present themselves as the friend of the injured person or the family of the person who was killed in an accident. The goal of such contact is to settle the case on terms as favorable as possible for the insurance company.
