We are here to give you sound legal advice while helping you pursue every available avenue toward compensation for your losses.

Common types of slip and fall accidents and their consequences

A slip and fall accident is any incident that occurs when someone slips, trips or falls due to the negligence of another person or entity. The most common causes of slip and fall accidents are:

Debris left on a floor – This can include objects such as food, paper or glass
Faulty repairs – When something was done incorrectly and not up to code
Repairs needed but not tended to – Someone has failed to repair a broken step, loose flooring, or other things that may cause accidents
Wet floors – This can happen wherever water accumulates on the ground, such as in a restroom or at an event where water was spilled

As you can imagine, these types of incidents are very common in Illinois and across the country. In fact, according to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), there were nearly 2 million non-fatal injury cases resulting in days away from work annually between 2008 and 2017.

Unfortunately, many people experience serious injuries because of someone else’s negligence. Slip and fall accidents can cause serious injuries such as:

Broken bones
Concussions
Internal bleeding
Spinal cord damage or paralysis

In the event that you are involved in a slip and fall accident, you should seek medical attention immediately. These types of accidents can be costly and may have long-term effects on your life. In some cases, they can even lead to death. You should also consult one of Carlson Bier’s attorneys for slip and fall accidents to help you pursue justice.

In addition to medical bills, lost wages typically occur due to missing work following a slip and fall accident. Many victims suffer other damages as well. These additional damages might include, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of relationships.

Slip and fall accidents are prevalent in Illinois

Illinois is home to some of the most dangerous slip and fall accident sites, according to a recent study. The state’s average of 535 slip and fall accidents per 100,000 residents makes it a one-of-a-kind hotspot for these accidents. In fact, Illinois has been named one of the worst states in America for these types of personal injury cases, with over half a million incidents reported since 2010 alone.
