At Anderson & Anderson, we have helped countless Lutz residents rebuild their lives after serious injuries from preventable accidents on someone else’s property.
The Heavy Toll of Slip and Fall Accidents
According to the National Floor Safety Institute, falls account for over 8 million emergency room visits per year, representing the leading cause of ER visits at 21.3%. Falls are especially dangerous for older adults. The CDC reports that three million older people are treated in emergency rooms for fall injuries each year, and over 800,000 are hospitalized.
While falls happen in an instant, the physical, emotional and financial aftermath can last months, years, or even a lifetime. Many slip and fall victims suffer severe injuries, such as:
- Broken hips, arms, legs or ankles
- Spinal cord damage and paralysis
- Head trauma and traumatic brain injuries
- Neck, back and shoulder injuries
- Knee damage, including torn ligaments
These types of injuries often require extensive medical treatment, surgeries, hospitalization, rehabilitation, and ongoing care. Victims may be unable to work or need to change careers. Depression, anxiety, chronic pain and loss of enjoyment of life are common. The lifetime costs of a slip and fall can easily reach hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars.
When Negligence Leads to Harm
Property owners in Lutz have a legal duty to keep their premises reasonably safe for visitors and to warn of any known hazards. When they fail in their responsibility, causing someone to get hurt as a result, the victim has the right to pursue a premises liability claim for their damages. Common examples of property owner negligence that frequently lead to slips, trips and falls include:
- Wet, slippery floors from spills, leaks, cleaning, etc.
- Cracked, broken, uneven flooring and walking surfaces
- Torn, loose or bunched up carpet and rugs
- Cluttered walkways and tripping hazards
- Broken or missing handrails and unstable stairs
- Poor lighting obscuring hazards
- Code violations and unmaintained premises
