Idaho: Slip and Fall Accident Information

Idaho slip and fall accidents can be divided into four categories depending on the cause and nature of the fall. If there are no warning signs posted by the property owner and he or she should have known about the condition, the slip and fall victim may be able to recover compensation. The four types of slip and fall accidents are listed below:

• Trip and fall accidents: Occur when there is a foreign object in the walking path, such as a stack of books in a walkway that is normally clear. They can also be caused by uneven walkways or damaged stairs.
• Stump and fall accidents: Occur when there is an impediment in the walking surface, such as a power cord that runs between two cubicles that wasn't there previously, a tacky point on the surface, or a defect that impedes the foot's movement.
• Step and fall accidents: Occur when where there is an unexpected failure or hole in the walking surface, such as a missing manhole cover or utility cover in the sidewalk.
• Slip and fall accidents: Occur when the interface of the shoe and the floor fails, such as when you slip and fall on a wet floor or an ice sidewalk.

The slip and fall is the most common type of accident, but each of these accident types can cause serious injury and may be grounds for a Idaho slip and fall lawsuit. It is important to document the hazard that caused your slip and fall accident if possible in order to strengthen your case for damages against the negligent property owner.
