According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, falls are the leading cause of traumatic brain injuries in the United States. In fact, falls account for 35.2% of all brain injuries, with the second leading cause being motor vehicle accidents, which cause 17.3% of traumatic brain injuries. Falls can occur for a variety of reasons, but when they occur because of a condition for which another person or party is responsible, you may be entitled to receive compensation for your injuries. Some common causes of falls that may give rise to legal liability include the following:
- Slippery floors
- Debris or trash on floors
- Cracks in pavement
- Poor lighting conditions
- Icy conditions
- Lack of handrails on stairs
- Uneven floors
- Holes in floors
