Accidents happen every day, but when they occur because of unsafe conditions on someone else’s property, the consequences can be serious. Louisiana law requires that a property owner provide relatively safe conditions to guests or provide warnings of any unsafe conditions. Slip and fall accidents and other premises liability injuries often leave victims facing mounting medical bills, lost wages, and long recovery periods. At Luke Law Firm, we help injured individuals hold negligent property owners accountable and fight for the compensation they deserve.

When Hazards Lead to Injury

Slip and fall accidents are one of the most common causes of personal injury claims. These incidents can happen anywhere—public spaces, private homes, or commercial properties—and are often the result of hazardous conditions that property owners fail to address.

These accidents can occur in: retail stores, shopping malls, restaurants, coffee shops, grocery stores, hotels, casinos, sidewalks, parking lots, schools, government buildings and even private homes if property owners fail to prevent hazardous conditions.

Common Causes of Slip & Fall Accidents

Slip and fall accidents can happen anywhere and for a variety of reasons. Common causes include:

Wet or slippery floors (spilled liquids, recently mopped areas)
Poorly lit hallways or stairwells
Uneven surfaces or loose floor coverings
Lack of handrails on stairs
Narrow or damaged stair treads
Hazardous walkway grates or steps without proper warnings
Polished or recently waxed floors
Ice, oil, or sand deposits on walking surfaces

A failure to properly maintain these areas can create dangerous conditions, putting visitors at risk.

Injuries from Slip & Fall Accidents

Slip and fall accidents can lead to a wide range of injuries, from minor bruises to life-threatening trauma. Common injuries include:

Sprained ankles or wrists
Knee and shoulder injuries
Concussions and traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
Spinal cord injuries

Severe muscle strains and fractures

Even seemingly mild injuries can result in long-term complications, impacting your ability to work or enjoy daily life. In severe cases, victims may require costly medical treatments and rehabilitation.
