Hurt in a Slip and Fall?
Let’s Talk.
Slip and falls can happen fast–but the pain, stress, and medical bills can stick around for a long time. If you got hurt on someone else’s property, you might be able to get money to help with your recovery–and we’re here to guide you through it.
Maybe you slipped at a store, tripped on a broken sidewalk, or fell in your apartment building. No matter where it happened, our team at Atlas Law Center will help you understand your rights and what to do next.
How Slip and Fall Accidents Happen
Slip and fall accidents can happen almost anywhere–at the grocery store, in a parking lot, on a sidewalk, or even in someone’s home. Most of the time, these falls aren’t just clumsy accidents. They happen because someone didn’t take care of their property the way they should have.
Here are some of the most common things that lead to slip and falls:
- Wet or freshly mopped floors without any warning signs
- Cracked sidewalks, uneven pavement, or deep potholes
- Loose carpets, rugs, or floorboards that catch your foot
- Broken stairs or handrails, or stairways that aren’t well lit.
- Spilled food or drinks in stores and restaurants
- Snow or ice that hasn’t been shoveled or salted properly
When a property owner doesn’t fix these problems–or doesn’t warn people about them–it can put others in danger. And if someone gets hurt because of it, the owner may be legally responsible. That’s where we come in. We help people figure out what went wrong and fight for what they’re owed.

Who’s Responsible for a Slip and Fall Injury?
If you slipped and got hurt on someone else’s property, you might be wondering who’s to blame. If they knew something was unsafe–or if they should have known about it–and didn’t do anything to fix it or warn you, they could be legally responsible for your injury.
This can include:
Common Slip and Fall Injuries
Slip and fall accidents aren’t always as simple as they seem. Sure, some people get up with just a bruise or a sore wrist—but for many others, the injuries are much more serious and can affect their daily life for a long time.
Some of the most common injuries we see from these kinds of falls include:
- Broken bones, especially hips, wrists, ankles, and arms
- Sprains and soft tissue damage, like torn ligaments or pulled muscles
- Head injuries or concussions, which can lead to dizziness, memory issues, or constant headaches
- Back and spinal injuries, including herniated discs or long-term back pain
- Deep cuts or scrapes, which may require stitches and leave scars
- Chronic pain that doesn’t go away and may need ongoing treatment
It’s important to know that even if you feel “okay” right after the fall, your injuries might show up later. You might feel sore the next day, or start having trouble walking or sleeping. That’s why it’s always smart to get checked out by a doctor—and to keep records of everything. Those medical records can be a big help when it’s time to prove your case.
At Atlas Law Center, we understand how painful and frustrating these injuries can be. We’re here to help you recover–not just physically, but financially too
What You’ll Need to Prove
If you’re thinking about filing a slip and fall claim, you’ll need to show a few important things in order to build a strong case. It’s not just about the fact that you fell—it’s about why it happened and who was responsible.
Here’s what you need to prove:
That might sound like a lot, but don’t worry—you don’t have to figure it out on your own. That’s where we come in. At our personal injury law firm, our team works hard to find the truth. We dig into the details by collecting evidence, talking to witnesses, checking security footage (if available), and reviewing your medical records. We’ll take care of the legal side so you can focus on healing.
