8 Things To Do After a Slip and Fall Accident
From staying safe at the scene
to securing the maximum compensation. Find out what to do after a slip and fall accident.
How We Build Your Case
THOROUGH
INVESTIGATION
We examine the local scene, interview witnesses, and secure surveillance footage to prove fault in your slip and fall.
COMPREHENSIVE CASE
MANAGEMENT
We manage medical records, insurance negotiations, and deadlines to keep your slip and fall claim on track.
AGGRESSIVE NEGOTIATION
AND LITIGATION
We fight for a fair settlement, taking insurers to court if needed for your slip and fall compensation.
No Fees Unless We Win
Slip and Fall Lawsuits Need at least Three Things.
There must be evidence that a dangerous or unsafe condition existed on the property where the incident occurred. Common examples include:
Wet or slippery floors with no warning signage
Uneven pavement, loose tiles, or poorly maintained walkways
Dim lighting in stairwells or hallways
Debris or clutter creating a tripping hazard
Property owners and managers have a duty to maintain safe conditions. If they fail to do so, and a hazard leads to injury, this may satisfy the first requirement.
This is known as “notice.” To bring a successful claim, we must demonstrate that the property owner (or responsible party) was aware of the condition, or should have been aware through regular inspections or reasonable care, and failed to take action.
We investigate key questions like:
Was the issue reported previously?
Did it exist long enough that staff should have noticed it?
Was there a history of similar complaints or accidents?
If we can show the property owner ignored or neglected a known hazard, that strengthens the case significantly.
Lastly, we must establish a clear link between the hazardous condition and the injuries sustained. It’s not enough to prove that a fall occurred—there must be documented harm, such as:
Broken bones, head injuries, or ligament damage
Medical expenses, time away from work, or rehabilitation costs
Pain, suffering, or permanent impairment
We help clients gather the right evidence—from medical records to witness statements—to demonstrate the full extent of the harm caused by the property owner’s negligence.

Slip and Fall Injury Types
Fractures
Slipping and falling on a hard surface often results in broken bones, especially in the wrists, hips, and ankles. These injuries can be painful, limit mobility, and often require surgery or physical therapy to heal fully.
Head Injuries
A fall can cause someone to strike their head on the ground, leading to concussions or more serious traumatic brain injuries. Symptoms may include dizziness, memory loss, and headaches, which sometimes persist for months.
Back and Spinal Injuries
Falls can jar the spine and result in herniated discs, pinched nerves, or vertebral fractures. These injuries often lead to chronic pain and may affect a person’s ability to work or perform daily tasks.
Soft Tissue Injuries
Muscle strains and ligament sprains are common in slip and fall accidents. Though not always visible, these injuries can be very painful and may take weeks to heal, often requiring physical therapy.
Cuts and Bruises
Victims may suffer from lacerations or contusions, especially when sharp or hard objects are present during the fall. While these may seem minor, deeper cuts can leave scars or become infected if untreated.
Joint Injuries
Twisting during a fall can injure knees, shoulders, or elbows. Torn ligaments or dislocations are not uncommon and may result in long-term instability or joint pain.
Types of Slip and Fall Cases
Wet Floor Accidents
These incidents often occur in grocery stores, restaurants, or lobbies where spills aren’t cleaned up promptly or warning signs are missing. Property owners are responsible for addressing known hazards quickly.
Uneven Surface Accidents
Cracks in flooring, loose tiles, or warped wood can catch someone’s foot and cause a fall. If the property owner knew or should have known about the defect, they may be held liable.
Icy or Snowy Walkway Accidents
Utah winters bring icy conditions, and property owners must clear sidewalks and entryways in a timely manner. Failing to do so can make them responsible for injuries.
Stairway Falls
Broken handrails, poor lighting, or slippery steps can cause someone to fall down a flight of stairs. These cases are particularly serious and often lead to severe injuries like spinal damage or fractures.
Poor Lighting Accidents
Inadequate lighting in parking lots, hallways, or stairwells can make hazards difficult to see, increasing the risk of falling. Property owners must maintain safe visibility in public and private spaces.
Obstructed Walkway Accidents
Boxes, wires, or other objects left in walkways can cause someone to trip and fall. Business owners and property managers are expected to keep walking paths clear and safe for visitors.
