Over one million people in the United States experience a significant fall injury each year. Slip and falls are the most common reason for emergency room visits and the third largest cause of work injuries. On average, more than 16,000 deaths occur each year from these accidents. Fall injuries frequently require representation by an attorney, since proving fault can often be quite challenging.

Fall injuries come under the umbrella of premises liability law. Premises liability holds a property owner, management company and / or maintenance company responsible for injuries that occur on their property if negligence can be shown. Typical negligent acts include, inadequate lighting, torn carpet, uneven surface, defective or missing hand railing on stairs, and slippery substances, to name a few.
