INTRODUCTION
Protecting Your Rights After a Trip & Fall Accident
A simple misstep over a loose rug or uneven pavement can result in serious injuries that disrupt your life. In Salt Lake City, property owners and managers have a legal duty to keep their premises free of known hazards. When they fail to do so, innocent people can suffer. At Ceda Law Group, we focus on holding negligent parties accountable and helping victims secure the compensation they deserve. We understand the physical pain and financial strain that can follow a trip and fall, and our goal is to guide you toward a swift and fair resolution.
COMMON CAUSES
Pinpointing Trip Hazards
Trip and fall accidents often involve raised floor edges, cracked sidewalks, poorly maintained carpets, or cluttered walkways. Poor lighting can also mask these hazards, making them even more dangerous. By examining incident reports, property records, and any available video footage, we expose the conditions that contributed to your accident and prove that the responsible party knew—or should have known—about the risk.

INJURIES AND IMPACT
Serious Consequences of a Simple Misstep
While some trip and fall accidents lead to minor bumps or bruises, others result in severe injuries like broken bones, spinal cord trauma, or debilitating head injuries. Recovery can involve lengthy hospital stays, rehabilitation, and time off work, all of which can take a mental, emotional, and financial toll. We partner with medical professionals to fully document your injuries, ensuring we pursue fair compensation that reflects the true impact on your life.

POTENTIAL COMPENSATION
Covering Your Financial and Personal Losses
Depending on the specifics of your case, you may be entitled to compensation that addresses:
- Medical Costs: Hospital visits, surgeries, rehabilitation
- Lost Wages: Income lost due to recovery periods or ongoing treatment
- Future Earning Potential: If permanent injuries limit your ability to work
- Pain and Suffering: Physical agony, mental distress, and diminished quality of life
- Additional Damages: In rare cases, punitive damages may be pursued if the property owner’s negligence was especially egregious
At Ceda Law Group, we strive to capture the full scope of your losses so you aren’t left bearing the burden alone.

FAQ
How is a trip and fall different from a slip and fall accident?
Slip and fall accidents typically involve slick surfaces (like liquid spills or ice). Trip and fall accidents often involve an object or uneven surface that causes someone to trip. Both types fall under premises liability law.
What are common hazards that lead to trip and fall injuries in Utah?
Loose carpeting, uneven sidewalks, cluttered walkways, and poorly lit areas are common hazards. In outdoor settings, raised sections of concrete or potholes can also cause trip and falls.
Should I take photos after a trip and fall accident?
Absolutely. Photographic evidence of the hazard that caused your fall can be critical in proving negligence. Also, try to collect witness statements and seek medical attention promptly to document your injuries.
Can I file a trip and fall claim if the property owner says I wasn’t paying attention?
Even if you were partially at fault, you might still recover damages under Utah’s modified comparative negligence rules, provided your percentage of fault is less than 50%. An attorney can evaluate your case and push back against unfair blame.
