While you are going about your daily errands, the last thing on your mind is slipping or tripping and falling. This can lead to serious injury, and your entire life can be changed as a result. You may think that there is no one to blame and that you are the one responsible for what has happened to you. That is not the case because when you are injured in a slip and fall due to someone else’s negligence, the other party can be held liable for your injuries and damages. You will need to contact an Edmonds slip and fall accident attorney to discuss your options.

Common Slip and Fall Accidents

A slip and fall accident can happen from even the smallest spill or incident. Some of the most common we see include:

  • Unmarked wet surface
  • Upended rugs
  • Falling down the stairs in public buildings or area
  • Uneven pavement
  • Unattended merchandise leading to falls
  • Recently waxed floors
  • Spilled liquids
  • Inadequate lighting
  • Insufficient or broken handrails

These are just some of the most common ways that you may unknowingly become a victim of a
slip and fall accident. Keep in mind that there are many ways that you can slip and fall on
someone else’s property.

Injuries From Slip and Fall Accidents

A slip and fall can lead to serious injury, as you might imagine. This can have a domino effect which can end up costing you thousands of dollars in medical treatment. You might be left wondering who will pay for all of this and may even begin to consider maxing out your credit cards and other methods to pay for your medical care. This should not be a thought in your mind. Instead, you should contact an Edmonds slip and fall accident attorney to discuss your options. Examples of common injuries include:

  • Broken bones (five percent of all people who fall suffer this injury)
  • Dislocated bones
  • Lacerations
  • Scars and bruises
  • Traumatic brain injury
  • Back injuries
  • Neck injuries
  • Spinal cord trauma

This is just a small list of possible injuries you may face when involved in a slip and fall.

Compensation for Slip and Fall Accidents

If you have been involved in a slip and fall accident through no fault of your own, you may be entitled to compensation. We will build a strong case and seek compensation for the following damages:

  • Out-of-pocket expenses
  • Lost income
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Pain and suffering
  • Medical expenses both past and future related to the accident

The amount of compensation you are entitled to will depend on your case’s details. You will need to work with an Edmonds slip and fall accident attorney to get the compensation you are entitled to receive.

Can Your Claim be Denied?

The opposing party will have certain defenses they can use to deny your claim, such as:

  • Notice
  • Readily apparent
  • Did not know the condition
  • Beyond the extent of the invitation
  • Trespassing

Do not let them win; instead, contact an attorney immediately.
