Indoor Slip and Fall Facts

When people think about slip and fall cases, they often think about icy sidewalks or driveways. These are examples of outdoor slip and fall accidents. However, slip and fall cases often happen indoors as well. Indoor slip and fall accidents are different from outdoor slip and fall accidents in many ways. As a property owner or as a guest, it is important to be aware of indoor conditions that can lead to indoor slip and fall lawsuits. We have compiled a list of circumstances in which a property owner can be held responsible for indoor slip and fall injuries.
