 Slips, trips and falls are a staple of personal-injury law ... and probably the most-used terms in the taglines of law-firm advertising. These cases generally are not at the far end of the difficulty scale; they can fetch big verdicts now and then; and, best of all, they're plentiful, particularly for firms located in municipalities. But all slips, trips and falls are not the same. Indeed, context matters when it comes to the strength of these cases. The accompanying chart, based on cases reported to VerdictSearch, demonstrates that fall victims are much more likely to prevail at trial if the accident occurred in an apartment or at the plaintiff's job, versus, for example, a hospital or school. Although not depicted on the chart, we'll also add that these cases are historically weak if the plaintiff is age 10 or younger.
