A slip or fall can cause horrendous physical injury, not to mention the mental anguish that can come from reliving the accident in one’s mind. Broken bones, sprained ligaments, cuts, ruptured organs and concussions can all result from a bad slip or fall. Unfortunately, in many communities in Southern California, slips and falls are a very common occurrence.
Slips and falls can often be attributed to someone else’s negligence or malice. The possessor of land and/or a building is ordinarily the person responsible for injuries or death caused on the land or building. Too often owners of property or the companies they hire to maintain their property do not take proper steps to ensure that people visiting their property don’t encounter unsafe conditions. Also, a company or individual that carries on an activity on the premises on behalf of the possessor, will also be responsible. Thus, a janitorial firm or security firm will sometimes be held responsible for an injury or death caused by the negligence of one of its employees working in a building. Also, the government itself is often liable for a slip and fall injury in certain situations.

There are different circumstances and situations where a person falls on a property because of neglect of another person or company. While they are generally known as "slip and fall", there are subtle variations:
Trip-and-fall accidents, where there is a foreign object in the walking path.
Stump-and-fall accidents, where there is an impediment in the walking surface.
Step-and-fall accidents, where there is an unexpected failure or hole in the walking surface
Slip-and-fall accident, in which the interface of the shoe and the floor fails.
Many so-called minor accidents can result in major problems if the resulting injury is ignored and left untreated. For example, many victims of slip and fall accidents leave the scene of the accident without obtaining medical assistance because they feel "fine." In reality, they may have serious injuries, but the symptoms may not show up until much later. By the time the injury manifests itself in actual physical symptoms, it may be too late to take effective medical action, thus resulting in possible permanent injuries.
