Slip and Fall Accidents in Covington
Serving Clients in Greater Cincinnati & Northern Kentucky
Perhaps you have suffered a slip and fall accident due to the negligence of the property owner. Although embarrassment might be your first emotion when you fall, that can quickly be overshadowed by your injuries. You may soon realize that your injuries are more severe than you initially believed, and you need a slip and fall attorney. You could now be facing substantial medical expenses, not to mention daily pain. Property owners are required, under the law, to ensure their property is safe and without known hazards. If a hazard is identified, it must be addressed as quickly as possible, with signage to warn visitors until it is repaired. There are essentially three “statuses” of visitors:
- Invitees are those who have either an express or implied invitation to be on the property for a purpose that can be expected to profit the owner of the property. When you go to the grocery store, a restaurant, the mall, or any other public business, you are considered an invitee.
- Licensees are those who are permitted on a property, yet the owner of the property has no reasonable expectation of gain. If you are attending a party at a friend’s home, you could be considered a licensee. If you bring someone with you to the party that your friend does not know, they are still considered a licensee, even though they were not expressly invited by the owner of the property.
- Trespassers are those who are on a property illegally, without permission. Trespassers have few rights, although you may not deliberately set up hazards on your property to harm trespassers.
If you slip and fall due to a spill while you are doing your grocery shopping—and if that spill has been there long enough to have been reasonably cleaned up—the store owner is responsible for your injuries. A slip and fall can be a serious issue. Don’t try to deal with it on your own—contact an experienced Covington slip and fall attorney from Adams Law.

What is a Slip and Fall Accident?
When you slip or trip, causing a fall with injuries, you have suffered a slip and fall accident. Slip and fall accidents generally happen on another’s property, and are the result of unsafe or hazardous conditions, including:
- Spills that make the floor slippery
- Floorboards that are loose
- Mats that slip on the surface below
- Worn out carpeting that is frayed or has “strings” that could trip
- Surfaces that are freshly mopped or waxed
- Potholes in a parking lot
- Holes in a sidewalk
- Clutter in walkways
- Stairwells with broken steps, missing railing, or poor lighting
- Uneven floor surfaces
- Electric cords or other hazardous items strung across a walking area
Slip and falls also occur in the workplace, however, rather than becoming a personal injury claim, resulting injuries usually fall under workers’ compensation benefits.
Are Slip and Fall Accidents Common?
According to the CDC, one out of five falls causes a serious injury, such as broken bones or a head injury—including traumatic brain injuries. More than 800,000 individuals are hospitalized due to a fall injury each year. Among the elderly, the most common injury resulting from a fall is a hip fracture. According to the National Safety Council, your lifetime odds of dying from a fall accident are one in 102—just marginally less than your lifetime odds of dying from a car accident—one in 101.
