A slip and fall is a type of personal injury claim arising from hazards such as wet floors, uneven surfaces, or inadequate lighting on someone else’s property.
The typical elements include duty of care, breach, causation, and damages. The process often involves evidence collection, demand letters, negotiations, and litigation if a fair settlement cannot be reached.
