Slip and Fall Causes

Slip and fall accidents refer to situations when you have been injured by slipping, tripping, or falling because of the unsafe condition of someone else's property. Such cases often fall under the branch of premise liability. These falls can be caused by dangerous conditions, such as:

  • Wet floors
  • Poorly installed or maintained flooring
  • Inadequately lighted steps
  • Ice covered walkways
  • Potholes or other irregularities in parking lots or walkways
  • Loose floor mats or rugs

Your Slip and Fall Case

Under Washington state negligence law, the owner of the property has a duty to keep their premises free from dangerous conditions. As an invitee under premises liability law, you should be warned by the property owner of any hazards that the property owner is aware of. However, if you fail to exercise reasonable care while on the property in question, you may be held partially liable for your injuries and not be able to recover full compensation for your injuries.

As the victim of a slip and fall accident, you have the responsibility to prove that a dangerous condition existed and that it caused your accident. You should take down the names and addresses of any witnesses to your accident and note the condition of the area where you were injured. You will likely need an experienced attorney to recover the compensation you deserve for your injuries.
