Slip and Fall Injuries in Ohio
Slip and fall injuries often occur from situations when a person slips, trips and falls due to a dangerous condition on another’s property. Although slip and fall accidents can take place anywhere, they often occur in places that invite large numbers of people to visit a property for recreational or commercial purposes, such as grocery stores, shopping malls, department stores, parking lots and sidewalks.
Common slip and fall injuries occur when there are damaged floors, wet spots in high traffic walkways, inadequately lighted parking lots, weather-related and other hazardous conditions like:
- Unattended snow pile-ups
- Improperly secured mats and rugs
- Building code violation
- Fire hazards
- Unmarked drop-offs
- Uncovered potholes
As many slip and fall cases occur at retail or commercial establishments, the law provides strong protection for individuals injured as a result of the proprietor’s or employees failure to make the premise safe, including:
- Failure to correct or warn against a condition that may result in injury or damage to another person or their property; and
- Negligent and careless acts, or failures to act, and failure to provide appropriate warnings.
