How are Trip and Falls Different From Slip and Fall Accidents?
housands of people are injured every year from tripping or slipping due to hazardous conditions on a property. Most of the time these are easily preventable but ignored or overlooked. In most circumstances, the injured party is unaware that someone is at fault for their injury. That is the job of a dedicated trip and fall lawyer. Although similar to slip and fall cases, trip and fall accidents possess a few key differences. Legally speaking, to trip implies the injured victim fell in a forward motion, injuring the knees, chest, or face. Contrarily speaking, to slip indicates the injured victim fell backward, usually injuring the back, back of the head, or tailbone. In addition, trip and fall cases are commonly the results of an object protruding from the ground or uneven steps, whereas slip and falls usually occur from wet or slick surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions about Trip and Fall Accidents
It’s important to do three crucial things after a trip and fall accident. First, document what you tripped on. If you can’t do it, have someone else do it. This helps preserve evidence for your case. Second, get medical care immediately. And third, reach out to an attorney who practices in trip and fall cases to ensure you are protecting your rights and getting your questions answered.
We believe it is always prudent to hire an attorney to assist with your case. At GBG we are experienced in trip and fall cases, we know the law, and we know how to help put your case on the right track for success. We have handled a multitude of trip and fall cases against different companies and entities.
At GBG we take our trip and fall cases on a contingency fee basis. This means we recover a percentage of the settlement we help obtain for you. And of course, if there is no settlement, we don’t charge any attorney’s fees.
Generally, the answer is two years from the date of the fall. However, there are certain cases where there are exceptions. For example, if you tripped and fell on government property, you need to make a claim with the governmental entity within six months. So, because there are different statutes of limitations for different types of cases, you should always consult with a personal injury attorney so you don’t inadvertently waive your rights!
