What Exactly is a Slip and Fall Accident?

Slip and fall accidents usually come under the category of personal injuries. They occur when someone trips, slips, stumbles, or falls in a way that causes injury. If the incident occurs due to hazardous and dangerous conditions that aren’t the fault of the injured victim, there could be premises liability involved. Generally speaking, a slip and fall accident can’t be the victim’s own fault to win damages, so injured victims must prove someone else’s liability.
