Slip and fall accidents can cause physical injury and financial loss. If you recently slipped and took a hard fall on someone’s property, you may be tempted to shrug it off and act like it didn’t happen. However, walking away could prevent you from getting monetary compensation if you need payment for injury care and other damages. There may be a negligent party that contributed to your slip and fall, so it is worth filing a report and gathering evidence at the scene. Our Burien, WA slip and fall lawyer can consult with you and let you know what steps to take next. If you have questions after a slip and fall accident, please contact our team at Herschensohn Law Firm, PLLC today.
Most slip and fall accidents happen on private property when the owner fails to secure an environment that is safe for visitors. Oftentimes, visitors slip on uneven or slick flooring or when tripping over a hazard. A few common causes of slip and fall accidents include icy and snowy sidewalks, wet floors, walkways cluttered with merchandise, raised floors when stepping in or out of elevators, broken tiles, and loose floorboards or carpeting. But slip and fall accidents are not limited to just these examples, so if you fell on a property due to a hazard or lack of safety, then we encourage you to talk with our team today about seeking compensation.
Slip and fall incidents tend to cause at least minor injuries. In most cases, the victim does need medical treatment. Fall victims may experience severe injuries that require long-term care and recovery. The costs for treatment can be expensive, causing victims to endure financial hardship. Depending on the circumstances of the fall and the pre-existing health conditions of the victim, these accidents may lead to critical conditions or fatality. Elderly people are even more vulnerable to serious injury if they take a fall. As our dedicated slip and fall accident attorney has seen in past cases, examples of the most common injuries can include:

Bruises and lacerations
Concussions
Wrist injuries
Ankle injuries
Brain injuries
Spinal cord damage
Burns
