“Slip and fall” is a legal term for personal injury cases that arise when a person slips and falls as a result of a dangerous condition on someone else's property. Property owners have a duty to maintain their premises in a safe condition, free of hazards to patrons and guests. In legal terms, this is known as premises liability. Slip and fall cases stem from a variety of different types of hazards, including:

• Carpeting that is in disrepair
• Flooring that is not level
• Inadequate lighting
• Wet or slippery floor
• Rain, ice, or snow that is not cleared within a reasonable time after a storm
• Unmarked wells or holes in the ground
• Sidewalks that are uneven or have hidden gaps

Slip and fall cases are litigated under the legal theory of negligence.
