In most instances, it is okay to use either term. However, when it comes to a premises liability lawsuit, it is important to use words wisely. There is a difference between the two mechanisms of injury.

  3. UNDERSTANDING A SLIP AND FALL INCIDENT UNDERSTANDING A SLIP AND FALL INCIDENT Slip and fall incidents are going to revolve around a person slipping on a substance that makes the floor unsafe. This will be caused by loss of traction between a person’s footwear and the walking surface.

  4. For example, suppose a person is walking down a local grocery store aisle, but there is a broken jar of pickles that they do not notice. While this person is looking for relish, they unintentionally step into the pickle juice, which causes their leg to hyperextend, and they subsequently fall to the floor and break their arm.

  6. UNDERSTANDING A TRIP AND FALL UNDERSTANDING A TRIP AND FALL INCIDENT INCIDENT A trip and fall accident is going to be a little different. Returning to our grocery store scenario, suppose there is no broken jar of pickles. Now, there is an extension cord going across a grocery store aisle leading to the floor buffer an employee is using in another aisle. Suppose a shopper fails to notice this cord while looking for their relish, and the cord catches their feet, causing them to fall and break their arm. This is an example of a trip and fall accident.
