Common hazards that cause sidewalk slip and fall accidents in Conroe

Sidewalks can have a variety of hazardous conditions, such as cracked and broken concrete, tree-root damage and slipperiness due to ice, snow or leaves. These conditions can occur on sidewalks anywhere, including residential neighborhoods, shopping centers, business entrances and public areas. 

Establishing liability in Conroe sidewalk slip and fall claims

Depending on a sidewalk’s location, a property owner, a homeowners’ association or a municipality may be responsible for keeping it in a safe condition. A breach of that duty of care constitutes negligence, for which the negligent property owner may have to pay damages. The specific nature of the owner’s duty will depend on whether the person injured had implicit or explicit permission to use the sidewalk. 

Investigating sidewalk slip and fall accidents in Conroe

Evidence of an accident and its causes can include photos of the sidewalk hazard, surveillance footage, sidewalk maintenance records, witness statements and documentation of property ownership. Some of this evidence can be lost soon after the accident as a result of changed conditions or inability to identify witnesses. You can help yourself by taking photos, collecting witnesses’ contact information and speaking with a Conroe slip and fall lawyer as soon as you reasonably can.

Injuries commonly linked to sidewalk slip and fall accidents

Sidewalk slips and falls can result in fractures, concussions, spinal damage, soft-tissue injuries and wrist and arm injuries while bracing against the fall. Any of these injuries may adversely affect the victim’s work, mobility, ability to care for family and other aspects of daily life. Depending on their severity, slip and fall injuries may require surgical procedures and/or long-term care.
