One of the most common types of accidents in which people are involved has the seemingly unexpected potential to be one of the most devastating. Slip and fall accidents in some places can seem like minor occurrences. In some work places or in public places however, slip and fall accidents can result in serious injuries to the victim. These kinds of accidents can actually cause a person to suffer permanent bodily damage, including neck injuries, broken bones, spinal cord injuries and even brain damage. In worst-case scenarios it is possible for a person to sustain partial or total paralysis from a particularly devastating slip and fall accident. If you've been injured in a slip and fall accident due to the negligence of a property owner, or while working in hazardous conditions, you should contact a Denver personal injury lawyer immediately for legal representation to help you recover compensation for your damages.
There are many causes of slip and fall accidents, ranging from slippery floors and uneven walkways, to broken or missing stairs and poorly lit walking areas. Even hazards such as round objects or objects on the floor that can potentially cause an injury are common causes of slip and falls. The owner of the property in which you a person is injured has a legal responsibility to maintain a reasonably safe environment for anyone who enters their property, leaving them liable for the injuries you may have sustained due to a slip and fall accident.
