When people think about slipping and falling, they often picture a cartoonish scene featuring a banana peel and hilarious sound effects. Unfortunately, real slip and fall injuries can be very serious, very embarrassing, and very painful for the victim. Injuries sustained in a slip and fall accident can interfere with your ability to work or engage in the activities of your daily life.
Where Do Orange County Slip and Fall Accidents Occur?
Unfortunately, a serious slip and fall accident can occur just about anywhere, including:
- Grocery stores
- Parks
- Apartment complexes
- Schools
- Shopping malls
- Offices
What really matters is how and why an Orange County slip and fall accident happens, regardless of where it occurred. Here are some common reasons people slip or trip and fall:
- Uneven walking surfaces
- Defective or inappropriately maintained walking surfaces
- Slippery, wet conditions or a spill
- Poor lighting
- Obstacles in the walking path
Many dangerous falls are the result of problems a property owner or manager knew about—or, should have known about—and could have fixed. If you were injured when you fell on someone else’s property, you may have a personal injury case against the property owner or other parties who should have been reasonably responsible for your safety.
