Slip and fall is a relatively common accident which can cause serious injury. Commonly associated with premises liability, a slip and fall on another person’s property will typically come under the liability of the property owner. Water, ice, an uneven walkway, a spill and poor lighting are all conditions which leave a person in danger of a slip and fall injury. These injuries may include:

• Spinal cord injury
• Broken or fractured bones
• Sprained ankles or wrists
• Head injury ( brain injury)
• Cuts, scrapes and lacerations
