Slip & Fall Claims in Utah

Being aware of a dangerous condition at the property where the slip and fall accident occurred does not automatically rule you out of possible compensation. The property owner still owes you a duty of care, especially if the dangerous condition is open and accessible to the public.

Typical slip and fall damages include medical expenses, lost wages if you were unable to work due to the injuries you sustained, and pain and suffering. Other potential recoverable damages include permanent disfigurement, the loss of enjoyment of life, and in some cases, punitive damages.

Yes you can. In fact a large percentage of defendants in slip and fall cases are usually landlords who have been accused of some form of negligence. If you can prove that the landlord's actions or inactions were responsible for your slip and fall accident, then you may be able to sue them and recover damages.

Slip and fall cases in the workplace usually fall under the umbrella of workers' compensation. When you file a workers' comp claim, you will not be able to sue your employer unless in rare circumstances. Instead, your employer's insurance provider will be responsible for compensating you.
