Slip and Fall Accidents
There are several kinds of fall accidents. A slip and fall accident is what happens when a person slips on liquid or another substance on the ground and falls. For example, a young boy cracks his skull while on the playground after slipping on a pool of water from a leaking drinking fountain.

Another kind of fall accident is the step and fall accident, such as when an elderly woman breaks her hip after stepping into a pothole and falling. A trip and fall accident is when someone trips over an object on the ground, such as when a worker breaks his arm after tripping over debris that wasn’t cleared away from an office hallway.

Common causes of slip/trip/step and fall accidents include improper maintenance, inadequate lighting, a missing step, a damaged stair railing, an area under construction without the proper warning signs, a loose floorboard, an uneven pavement, or liquid or debris on a restaurant floor, store aisle, or inside a public bathroom.

Our Boston, Massachusetts slip and fall lawyers will work with accident reconstruction experts who can prove that your injuries were caused by the inadequate conditions on another party’s premise. Slip and fall cases fall under the area of premises liability law, which holds a premise owner or property manager responsible for making sure that there are no unsafe conditions on a property that could cause injury or death to a resident, visitor, worker, or patron.
