Slip, Trip & Fall Lawyers

Serving Olympia, Tacoma and Western Washington

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), falls are one of the most common sources of personal injury in the United States. The injuries caused by slip and fall or trip and fall accidents can be severe, including fractured hips, broken wrists, arms, spine, head injuries, brain injuries and even death. Over 1 million people will suffer injury due to falls this year. Approximately 20,000 falls each year cause death. Slip and fall accidents account for more emergency room visits than any other cause of injury.

For the elderly population, suffering injury from a fall can seriously impact activities of daily living and adversely impact their quality of life. Many seniors who suffer broken or fractured bones actually end up losing their ability to live independently. Unfortunately, many of these serious injuries occur in nursing homes charged with safeguarding and caring for our senior citizens.

We demand full and fair compensation for all damages and losses, including immediate and future medical care, rehabilitation, lost wages, and lost earning potential. We conduct a thorough investigation and involve experts to help us prepare your case for settlement or for presentation to a jury.

Slip, trip, and fall type accidents fall under a section of law known as “premises liability”. Under this law, property owners are required to keep the land and businesses they own reasonably safe for others. Property owners are not allowed to have an unsafe condition on their property which could cause harm, injury, or even the wrongful death of someone on the property. Negligence needs to be established in slip, trip, and fall cases to show that the owner or controller of the property failed to keep it reasonably safe for others. Examples of property owner negligence that contribute to slip, trip, and fall accidents can include:

  • Wet, unmarked floors
  • Uneven or broken sidewalks
  • Loose carpeting or rugs
  • Unsecured electrical cords
  • Faulty handrails
  • Defective stairs
  • Food on the floor
  • Poor Lighting
