Example Slip-and-Fall Situations Where You May Be Eligible for Compensation

There are different types of slip-and-fall cases that can occur. Here are a few examples of what can be considered a viable slip-and-fall cases.

Neglected Hazard

Example

These cases are where a slip-and-fall accident happens in direct response of a business neglecting their responsibilities. For example, a lake front restaurant doesn’t regularly pick up trash off the floor and a customer slips on a piece of it.

Potential for Hazard

Example

These cases are where someone slip and falls, but it’s not directly in response to the neglecting of the business owners responsibilities. For example, a concert venue owner keeps their venue very clean and orderly most of the time. A concert happens and an attendee trips over a piece of trash on the ground. While, the workers typically keep the venue clean on a regular basis, the trash cans were full to where people couldn’t throw their trash away during the concert. Therefore, the “potential for hazard” was there.

Plaintiffs’ Carelessness

Example

Workers at a shipping facility are loading trucks behind enclosed fencing. The fence is clearly marked “authorized workers only.” A bystander ignores the sign and walks through the gate anyway and trips over a box. While the fence was clearly marked and the bystander probably won’t have a strong case, it could be argued that the facility didn’t try hard enough to keep bystanders out. For example, they didn’t lock the gate.
