Slip and fall lawyers understand that falls are consistently the leading cause of injury-producing accidents. They account for more than 1 million injuries each year in the United States.  Slip and fall accidents fall under the legal category known as premises liability.  When property owners fail to keep their building, parking lots and walkways safe and secure, they create a risk of injury.

A slip and fall includes falls as a result of water, ice or snow, as well as abrupt changes in flooring, poor lighting, or a hidden hazard, such as a gap or hard to see hole in the ground.
