Slip & Falls
Experienced Slip and Fall Attorneys Helping Injured Victims Nationwide
Slip and fall accidents happen more often than most people realize, and they can cause serious harm. Falls are the leading reason people go to the emergency room, with over 8 million visits each year. More than 1 million of those are from slips and falls alone, which makes up about 12% of all fall-related injuries.
If you or someone you care about was hurt in a slip and fall on someone else’s property, it’s important to have the right lawyer on your side. At Lowe Injury Law, we’re here to help you fight for the compensation you need to cover your medical bills, lost income, and the pain you’ve been through.
What is a Slip & Fall Accident?
A slip and fall accident happens when someone trips, slips, or loses their balance because of unsafe conditions on someone else’s property. These types of accidents can happen almost anywhere—at a store, restaurant, office, public park, or even at someone’s home.
Some common causes of slip and falls include:
- Broken stairs or loose handrails
- Clutter or objects blocking walkways
- Poor lighting that makes it hard to see hazards
- Wet or slippery floors from spills, rain, snow, or ice
- Uneven surfaces like cracked sidewalks or bumpy flooring
Property owners have a duty to keep their spaces safe for visitors. When they don’t fix dangerous conditions, people can get hurt, and that’s when a slip and fall claim may come into play.
Types of Injuries in Slip & Fall Cases
Slip and fall accidents can cause all kinds of injuries—some minor, some much more serious. Here are some of the most common ones:
Broken bones:
It's easy to break a bone if you fall hard, especially on concrete or other hard surfaces.
Head injuries:
Hitting your head during a fall can lead to a concussion or even a more serious brain injury.
Spinal injuries:
Falls can hurt your back or spine, which might lead to long-term pain or, in severe cases, paralysis.
Soft tissue injuries:
These include sprains, strains, and torn muscles or ligaments, which can be painful and take time to heal.

Knee and hip injuries:
These parts of the body often take the brunt of a fall and may need surgery, especially in older adults.
Some of these injuries can seriously affect your daily life. That’s why taking legal action might be the right step—to get help covering medical costs, lost income, and the impact the injury has had on your life.
How to Prove Liability in Slip & Fall Cases
If you’ve been hurt in a slip and fall accident, it’s not enough to just say the property was unsafe—you have to show proof that the property owner was at fault. In legal terms, this means proving they were negligent, or in other words, that they didn’t take reasonable steps to keep their property safe.
To have a strong case, you’ll need to show a few key things:
- The property owner was careless: They had a duty to keep their property reasonably safe for visitors, but they didn’t do that.
- The dangerous condition was there long enough to fix: Maybe there was a spill, broken step, or poor lighting. You’ll need to show that the owner either knew about the problem or should have known about it, and had enough time to fix it but didn’t.
- Your injury happened because of that hazard: There has to be a clear link between the unsafe condition and your injury. That’s where strong evidence comes in.
- Photos or videos of the scene, especially if they show what caused you to fall (like a wet floor or uneven sidewalk)
- Witness statements from people who saw what happened or noticed the dangerous condition before or after the accident
- Medical records that show the extent of your injuries and when they happened
- Surveillance footage, if available, that captured the fall
The more details you have, the stronger your case will be. That’s why it’s important to gather as much information as possible right after the accident, if you’re able. A slip and fall lawyer can help you collect the right evidence and build a case that clearly shows who’s responsible.
