In fact, in 1996, falling was the second leading cause of accidental death.  The first was automobile accidents.  In that year, 14,100 people dies as a result of a fall.  Accidental slips and falls can occur in numerous ways and in a variety of places, such as:

1. Falls in parking lots and outside of businesses and private homes due to defects in pavement; snow and ice accumulation; or  inadequate lighting

2. Falls in supermarkets and restaurants due to food or drink on the floor

3. Falls on stairs due to slippery conditions; torn, raised, or worn carpeting; inappropriate stair height, tread widths, and/or step size; inadequate lighting.

4. Falls inside businesses and private homes due to slippery conditions; torn, raised, or worn carpeting; inadequate lighting; or obstructions.

The scenarios are limitless, and the injuries can be devastating.  Falls are responsible for more open wounds, brain injuries, and fractures than any other cause of injury.  The most common fall-related injuries are fractures of the hip, spine, and forearm.   Whether a property owner will be legally responsible for a slip and fall injury depends on whether the owner of a person in charge knew or should have known about the potentially dangerous condition of the property.  The law requires property owners to fix dangerous conditions that exist on their property.  However, the law gives property owners a “reasonable” amount of time to fix these dangerous conditions.  If you have been injured in a slip and fall accident, it is important that you contact an experienced Pennsylvania personal injury lawyer immediately.
