Common Questions
About Slip and Fall Injuries Cases
Do I have a case if I slipped and fell?
Not every fall leads to a legal claim. However, if a dangerous condition caused your injury and a property owner failed to address it or provide adequate warning, you may have a case.
What conditions commonly cause slip and fall accidents?
Slip and fall accidents can be caused by wet floors, snow and ice accumulation, uneven sidewalks, damaged flooring, poor lighting, loose carpeting, broken stairs, missing handrails, and other hazardous property conditions. When a property owner fails to address a dangerous condition or provide adequate warning, Wisconsin law may allow an injured person to pursue compensation for their injuries.
What should I do after a slip and fall accident?
Seek medical attention, report the incident, document the area if possible, and preserve any evidence related to the fall. Taking these steps can help protect both your health and your legal rights.
What injuries are common in slip and fall accidents?
Slip and fall accidents can cause broken bones, head injuries, traumatic brain injuries, neck and back injuries, spinal injuries, and other serious conditions that require extensive treatment.
What if I was partially at fault for the fall?
Wisconsin follows a comparative negligence system. Depending on the circumstances, you may still be entitled to compensation even if you share some responsibility for the accident.
