Interesting article from an insurance claims journal discussing the differences between a "slip and fall" and a "trip and fall" incident. As a California attorney who handles fall accidents on property, I find that this distinction is, sometimes, without much difference regarding the potential for negligence. A trip hazard (such as merchandise or equipment being left in a walk space) can be just as much of a dangerous condition to pedestrians than a slippery floor surface. However, the article does bring out the distinctions regarding injuries sustained in each and some of the differences in the way these cases are investigated. One of the main issues in a "slip" and fall case is the so-called "coefficient of friction" (measure of how slippery the surface is) of the floor and whether it presented a hazard. In these cases, it is much more crucial to inspect and test the floor surface as soon as possible after the incident as factors such as continued maintenance, polishing, etc. may effect the results.
