Slip and fall accidents are personal injury and are one type of "fall down" accidents.  

​

There are four general types of slip and fall accidents:

• Trip-and-fall accidents, where there is a foreign object in the walking path.

• Stump-and-fall accidents, where there is an impediment in the walking surface.

• Step-and-fall accidents, where there is an unexpected failure or hole in the walking surface

• Slip-and-fall accidents, in which the interface of the shoe and the floor fails.

​

 

Both the property owner as well as the injured person can be held to varying degrees of responsibility for an injury. The property owner has a responsibility to keep property safe. Each person has a duty to watch where they are going, as well as realize that there are things that fall or spill onto walking surfaces.

​
