What Qualifies as a Slip and Fall Accident?
A slip and fall claim arises when a dangerous condition on property causes someone to fall and suffer injuries.
Property owners have a legal duty to regularly inspect their premises and fix or warn of hazards they know about or should reasonably discover.
Common dangerous conditions include:
- Wet or slippery floors
- Cracked or uneven walkways
- Loose rugs or mats
- Broken handrails or stairs
- Poor lighting in hallways or parking garages
- Icy sidewalks or entryways
Where Slip and Fall Accidents Happen in Tacoma
Slip and fall injuries frequently occur in places open to the public or tenants.
- Grocery stores and retail outlets
- Restaurants and coffee shops
- Apartment complexes and rental properties
- Office buildings and workplaces
- Sidewalks, parking lots, and stairwells
In Tacoma, rain, ice, and heavy foot traffic increase fall risks in downtown areas, Tacoma Mall, the Stadium District, and residential neighborhoods.
Common Injuries in Slip and Fall Accidents
Falls can cause far more than minor bruises.
- Broken bones and fractures
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Torn ligaments and soft-tissue damage
- Chronic pain and mobility limitations
Severe falls may result in permanent disability and may qualify as catastrophic injury cases. Learn more on our Tacoma catastrophic injury page.
How Liability Is Determined in a Tacoma Slip and Fall Case
To succeed in a slip and fall claim, you must show that the property owner failed to address a dangerous condition.
Liability often depends on whether the owner:
- Knew about the hazard
- Should have known about it through reasonable inspection
- Failed to fix or warn about the danger
Washington follows a comparative fault system, meaning compensation may still be available even if you share some responsibility.
Most slip and fall claims must be filed within three years under RCW 4.16.080.
