Slip and fall accidents can be quite serious—even deadly. As the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) points out, millions of people fall and are injured each year, and around 800,000 people end up hospitalized for injuries sustained by falling. Around one in five falls results in significant injuries, including fractured bones or injuries to the head. Falling sideways can be particularly brutal; more than 95% of broken hips are the result of falls, most of them sideways falls, notes the CDC.
Falls can result in an array of injuries, some more serious than others. Commonly, falls cause fractures and broken bones in the ankle, hip, arm, or wrist. Head injuries are also quite common with slip and fall accidents. Impact to the head does not have to be particularly violent to cause a brain injury, which is a type of injury that can lead to disabilities and marked deficits in slip and fall victims.

When the property owner fails in this duty, and injuries result, then the injured party has a right to recover compensation for the damages that result. At a minimum, they should warn the visitor that a dangerous condition exists.
Hazardous or dangerous conditions that may potentially lead to slip and fall accidents include:
While every slip and fall case is unique, most plaintiffs who recover damages due to their injuries collect a mix of compensation. This may include:
