The term slip and fall refers to wide range of accidents that often lead to serious injuries. These can range from falling down an unlit stairway to slipping on an uneven or wet surface, to falling through a hole or even having an object fall on you.
Are you entitled to compensation?
To be successful in this type of claim it is necessary to prove that the responsible party fell below an acceptable standard of care, and their failure caused your injuries. That standard of care varies depending on the circumstances. For example, if a business has an appropriate system of inspection and cleaning in place, and followed this, then it is unlikely that a claim would succeed even if an injury resulted. Gathering as much information as possible immediately after an injury occurs will assist with determining responsibility for any injury.
