Summer Slip And Falls
Slip and fall accidents don’t just occur in the winter. Summer slip and fall accidents are also common and can occur at:
- Outdoor dining areas as the result of slick patios and decks (from rainfall or spilled drinks,) cracked or uneven pavement, obstructed walking paths, broken/damaged staircases and railings, or improperly secured patio furniture
- Outdoor event venues as the result of poorly maintained or congested walking paths, slick pavement, grass fields, or tent flooring, poorly secured electrical cords, and unmarked construction zones
- Construction zones as the result of improperly secured scaffolding or equipment that may fall or collapse due to heavy weight, high winds, or thunderstorms
- Public sidewalks as the result of unmarked concrete that has lifted, sunk, or cracked
Summer slip and falls can happen to anyone. While many people won’t suffer debilitating or lasting injuries, a slip and fall can result in:
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Broken bones or fractures
- Muscle or joint damage
- Nerve damage
- Burns
Just because you slipped, doesn’t always mean you have a case. When it comes to personal injury, you have to prove that a) a property owner knew or should have known about a hazard and b) failed to remedy it.
