Slip Joint
Slip and fall accidents can range from the fairly simple ones that cause a few bruises and scratches to serious ones that cause severe personal injuries and even death.
Premises liability laws are intended to help compensate slip and fall victims, should they need to recover medical costs and other damages.
The statistics about slip and fall accidents may surprise you. Here are just a few from the National Safety Council:
- More than one million Americans have a serious enough slip and fall injury to warrant medical treatment.
- A large number of people, 17,000 on average, die from slip and fall injuries every year in the U.S.
- It is estimated that one serious slip and fall accident can cost a person nearly $30,000 in medical expenses and lost income.
- Slip and fall injuries are the top reason people visit the emergency room. They are also a common cause of injury on the job.
- Nearly 75 percent of slip and fall accidents happen on even ground.
- Injuries from slip and fall accidents range from back, wrist and shoulder injuries to serious joint injuries (hip, knee) that require surgery.

Slip and fall accidents that lead to premises liability claims can happen just about anywhere. But the most common places include:
- In the workplace
- On a public street or sidewalk
- In a place of business
- At a construction site
