Most personal injury slip, trip and fall victims fall backward resulting in serious injuries that range from concussion to paralysis and from spinal injuries to broken\/fractured bones. Hip fractures are the most dangerous particularly for elderly victims.<\/p>\n<p>Owners and\/or managers of properties and public areas are responsible to provide a safe environment for anyone using their property. If you or a loved was injured in a slip, trip and fall, you may be able to receive compensation for your injuries by filing a personal injury claim.<\/p>\n<h2>\n\t\t\tA Philadelphia slip and fall injury lawyer will know how to handle your case.\t<\/h2>\n\t<p>Personal injury accidents, such as slip, trips and falls, and slips and falls are common. In most instances, the victim of a slip and fall incident becomes injured due to dangerous property conditions such as an icy parking lot, a slippery floor in a store or at an airport, a slippery entrance, or an improperly secured railing at a construction site. Slip and fall accidents can happen at any time, anywhere.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.myphillylawyer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/slip-fall-one.svg\" alt=\"Slip and Fall Accidents\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"560\" width=\"785\" title=\"slip-fall-one\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n<h2>\n\t\t\tPennsylvanians suffer from slip and fall injuries every day\t<\/h2>\n\t<p>Personal injury statistics from the National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care (NHAMC) survey indicate slip and fall accidents are the leading cause of unintentional injuries in the United States resulting in over 11 million ER visits.<\/p>\n<p>Virtually 1 million of those visiting an emergency room were the result of slip, trip and fall incidents and 300,000 of those incidents were temporarily disabling.<\/p>\n<p>Slip, trip and fall injuries makeup at least 15 percent of all job-related injuries and result in an annual cost to businesses of 11 billion in workers&#8217;

Wet floors and spills can be found in just about any building, from the grocery store to the dentist and from the dry cleaners to the airport or bus station. Whether the floors have been mopped with water or freshly waxed, those areas need to be clearly indicated by adequate warning signs. It is also the responsibility of the workers of those establishments to clean up any debris or spills.<\/p>\n<p>Slipping and falling while at work can also be dangerous whether you work in an office building, a construction site, a retail store, an airport or a warehouse. Slippery floors can be found in all those locations, along with broken flooring, defective equipment, unsafe railings on stairs and unsecured, exposed cables.<\/p>\n<p>The food service industry pays approximately $2 billion every year to settle slip and fall claims.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.myphillylawyer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/slip-fall-two.svg\" alt=\"Slip and fall work accidents\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"350\" width=\"785\" title=\"slip-fall-two\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n<h3>\n\t\t\tProperty owners have a responsibility to the public\t<\/h3>\n\t<p>The property owner, whether of a residential or a public property, has a duty to clear any ice, snow, debris, spills as soon as possible or face the possibility of being held liable for a fall. A property owner has the responsibility to adequately mark any broken, cracked or crumbling flooring or pavement. It is also an owner&#8217;s responsibility to quickly repair any damaged or missing surface or equipment.<\/p>\n<p>You have the right to be safe while you walk in a public or workplace setting. An experienced slip and fall attorney can secure compensation for medical costs and pain and suffering. If the slip and fall resulted in a death, your attorney can win compensation for the loss of a loved one.<\/p>\n<h6>\n\t\t<a href=\"\/yue\/practice-areas\/\" title=\"Practice Areas\"  target=\"_self\">\n\t\t\tPractice Areas\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/h6>\n\t\t\t\t\t<ul id=\"menu-services-core-1\"><li id=\"menu-item-562\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.myphillylawyer.com\/yue\/practice-areas\/personal-injury\/\">Personal Injury<\/a><\/li>\n<li id=\"menu-item-565\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.myphillylawyer.com\/yue\/practice-areas\/vehicle-accidents\/\">Car Accidents<\/a><\/li>\n<li id=\"menu-item-8072\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.myphillylawyer.com\/yue\/practice-areas\/vehicle-accidents\/truck-accidents\/\">Truck Accidents<\/a><\/li>\n<li id=\"menu-item-12082\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.myphillylawyer.com\/yue\/practice-areas\/personal-injury\/premises-liability\/slip-and-falls\/\">Slip and Fall<\/a><\/li>\n<li id=\"menu-item-563\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.myphillylawyer.com\/yue\/practice-areas\/birth-injuries\/\">Birth Injuries<\/a><\/li>\n<li id=\"menu-item-564\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.myphillylawyer.com\/yue\/practice-areas\/workplace-injuries\/\">Workplace Injuries<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\t\n\t<h4>\n\t\t\tNO RECOVERY, NO FEE.

Parking lots with uneven asphalt, or snow and ice are another common area for slips and falls. Many falls happen in nursing homes.
