When a Fall Isn't Your Fault

Most times when a person falls, the result is nothing more than minor bruises and feelings of embarrassment. Slip and fall accidents are fully capable of causing catastrophic injuries or even death. If this happens, it is of the highest importance to determine who is at fault for the accident. If another person is responsible for your fall, you have a right to file a personal injury claim, which could result in a settlement or jury verdict to compensate you for your medical expenses, your lost income and pain and suffering.

Consequences of a Slip and Fall Accident
