Slip and Fall Accidents in Missouri

Slip and fall accidents are more common in Missouri than some may realize. In fact, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) reports that slips and falls are responsible for roughly 15 percent of accident-related deaths on the job, second only to motor vehicle accidents.

But slip and fall injuries don’t just occur on the job, although these accidents are relatively common. A slip or fall can happen anytime, anywhere, often with no warning, and sometimes resulting in severe and even life-threatening injuries.

Some of the injuries our Missouri slip and fall attorneys have seen in these cases include:

  • Broken bones
  • Cuts, scrapes, and contusions
  • Back injuries
  • Head injuries including concussions
  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Shoulder injuries
  • Neck injuries
  • Death

In the most heartbreaking situations, a serious slip or fall may result in death, at which point surviving loved ones may be able to file a wrongful death claim.

In cases in which a slip or fall results in a disabling condition, our Social Security disability lawyers can help with these claims and appeals, as well.

WHERE DO SLIPS AND FALLS HAPPEN?

A slip, fall, or trip can happen anywhere. Some of the more common locations we see in these cases include:

  • Grocery and Retail Stores — Spills or wet surfaces on hard floors in grocery stores and other retail stores can be extremely dangerous, sometimes resulting in a serious fall or slip that causes injury.
  • Construction Sites — With so much equipment and material lying around, often placed haphazardly, construction sites are common places where slips and falls occur. Poorly secured or protected scaffolding can also pose dangers, and falls from roofs can result in life-threatening injury.
  • Parking Lots — Sometimes poorly maintained, debris, potholes, and parking barriers can be especially dangerous for those walking across parking lots.
  • Public Restrooms — Hard surfaces and spills can pose serious dangers to people in public restrooms that are not maintained or cleaned properly.
  • Workplaces — Slips, falls, and trips resulting in injury are common on the job. In these cases, an injured victim may have a workers’ compensation claim, as well, and should contact an experienced workers’ comp attorney to assist with his or her claim.
  • Swimming Pools — Swimming pools are especially hazardous and slippery surfaces can lead to injury-causing slips, falls, and trips.
  • Hospitals, Nursing Homes, and Assisted Living Facilities — These locations often have hard floors and spills are common and sometimes not cleaned up. The elderly are especially vulnerable as they sometimes lack balance and coordination.
  • Bleachers and Stairwells — Sometimes poorly lit, bleachers and stairwells can be especially dangerous. Spills are common and often not cleaned up right away, presenting additional dangers.
