Perhaps you want more information on what is considered a slip and fall accident. Here's how our slip and fall lawyers explain it. Slip and fall accidents are an injury and are one type of fall down accidents. There are four general types of fall accidents:

• Trip-and-fall accidents, where there is a foreign object in the walking path 

• Stump-and-fall accidents, where there is an impediment in the walking surface

• Step-and-fall accidents, where there is an unexpected failure or hole in the walking surface, and

• Slip-and-fall accidents, in which the interface of the shoe and the floor fails

Oftentimes, when a slip and fall accident or injury takes place the business owner or employer wants to blame you instead of taking responsibility for the slip and fall injury. Comparative negligence relates to your own responsibility in the accident, in comparison to the property owners' responsibility. A court will establish a percentage of liability for each party. The percentage of liability determines the percentage of the resulting damages each party must pay. Both the property owner as well as the injured person can be held to varying degrees of responsibility for a slip and fall injury. The property owner has a responsibility to keep property safe. Each person has a duty to watch where they are going, as well as realize that there are things that fall or spill onto walking surfaces.
