San Antonio Slip & Fall Attorneys - Causes, Common Injuries & More

Did you know that falls are among the most common causes of bodily injury? Most people will go to a restaurant, store, or even a private residence in San Antonio and not think twice about the possibility of getting hurt. But accidents on private property are, in fact, the third leading cause of accidental injuries in the U.S. The effects of a slip and fall can be severe and even fatal.

Among the types of injuries people experience are:

• concussions
• broken bones
• spinal cord injuries
• lacerations
• hip and knee displacement

Many of these injuries require surgery to repair and can lead to loss of income and unexpected medical expenses.

Property owners are required to exercise a duty of care concerning visitors. Exercising a duty of care requires the owner to address any potential safety concerns and take basic and reasonable steps to minimize risks of injury. When someone fails to do this, they can be found legally negligent.

Most injuries resulting from a slip and fall are due to a lack of care on the part of the property owner. Some of the more common causes are:

• uncleaned spills
• uneven walking surfaces
• unsecured rugs or carpeting
• exposed wires or cables

When any of these hazards are present, it could be an example of negligence. All of these and more are the responsibility of the property owner. If a property owner has failed to act responsibly and protect others, they could be held responsible for injuries sustained by another.
