A slip and fall accident is a fall caused by a dangerous condition on someone else's property. In everyday terms, the phrase covers a wide range of incidents, from a wet grocery aisle to a cracked sidewalk. People also group these incidents under premises liability, the area of law concerned with injuries tied to the condition of property.
