There are countless number of hazardous conditions that could result to a slip and fall accident. Here are some of the most common examples:
 A slippery flooring due to water or wet object or over application wax
 Walkway cracks
 Poor maintenance of stairways and hand rails
 Holes on the streets, sidewalks, grass or walkways
 Uneven floor surfaces
 Food or any other object debris that are left on the floors

Furthermore, the law entitles the slip and fall victims to recover monetary damages from the liable parties. The amount that the plaintiff can acquire greatly depends on certain facts of a particular case. These include the place where the accident happened, the entire amount of defendant’s insurance coverage, the defendant’s resources, the seriousness of the injury and the strong merits of the claim. To add, the litigation skills of the personal injury lawyer who handles the case also has an effect on the amount of the recovery.

Generally, the state government determines the coverage of the damages. Nevertheless, most of the state laws affirmed that successful claims should be entitled of the following compensation:
 cost of hospital and medical bills
 lost wages due to the victims’ incapacity to further perform their jobs
 emotional and mental pain and suffering
 cost of the damaged things from the accident like watches, eyeglasses and clothing of the victims
 other general damages and expenses that result from the accident

On the other hand, the defendants may set themselves free of any liability if they have successfully established these points:
 The defects are very trivial to cause a serious injury to the plaintiff
 The defects are too visible not to be seen by the plaintiff
 they are not aware of the hazards since they do not have the direct supervision of the premises or the hazards have just recently occurred

These explain why the victims should hire the assistance of a qualified and competent slip and fall accident lawyer. A lawyer can utilize all the legal methods to defend his or her client’s rights. Thus, an experienced legal counsel can assure them that their cases will gain favor from the courts.
