Lexington Slip & Fall Accidents: Types & Reasons for Personal Injury Claims

Among the most common types of accidents leading to personal injury claims are slip and fall accidents. Although Lexington slip and fall accidents and other falls in central Kentucky result from various causes, there are generally four common types of accidents related to falls:

  • trip and fall accidents, which, as the name would indicate, result from someone tripping on an object obstructing the person’s path
  • actual slip and fall accidents, which result from unexpected slippery surfaces in the walking surface
  • stump-and-fall accidents, caused by impediments in the ground or floor
  • step-and-fall accidents, resulting from unexpected holes or defects in the surface.

A slip and fall accident can occur anywhere, but not every accident constitutes a Kentucky or Lexington personal injury claim. Whether the fall or accident occurs at a private residence, a construction site, at a nursing home, or on public or industrial property, two factors are essential in order to be able to have a successful personal injury case: liability (or negligence) and causation. As long as the accident was caused by another party’s negligence, which directly resulted in the accident victim’s injuries, a legal claim may be possible.
