Slip and Fall Lawyers in Salt Lake City
Lisa was just running a quick errand. She walked into a store, focused on her shopping list, and didn’t see the freshly mopped floor — no signs, no warnings. One step later, she was on the ground, dazed, with a broken wrist and a sprained ankle. The manager apologized but shrugged off the incident. Lisa was left with medical bills, missed work, and weeks of painful recovery.
No one plans for a slip and fall — but when property owners neglect safety, you’re the one who suffers. At LifeLaw, we believe that if someone else’s carelessness causes you harm, you deserve to be heard, helped, and compensated
What Is a Slip and Fall Case?
Slip and fall accidents fall under premises liability law, which holds property owners responsible for maintaining reasonably safe conditions. You may have a valid case if your injury was caused by hazards like:
- Wet or freshly mopped floors without signage
- Uneven pavement or sidewalks
- Loose carpets, rugs, or mats
- Icy walkways or uncleared snow
- Broken handrails or poor lighting in stairwells
- Debris, clutter, or other obstacles in walkways
If the hazard was known — or should have been known — by the property owner and wasn’t addressed or marked, you may be entitled to compensation.
What Injuries Can Result from a Slip and Fall?
Common injuries from falls include:
- Fractures (especially wrists, hips, or ankles), Concussions, and traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Back and spinal cord injuries
- Torn ligaments or soft tissue damage
- Chronic pain or mobility loss
Even seemingly “minor” falls can result in major setbacks — physically, financially, and emotionally.

Slip and Fall Frequently Asked Questions
1. How do I know if I have a valid slip and fall case?
If your injury occurred on someone else’s property due to a dangerous condition, such as a wet floor, uneven surface, or icy walkway, that the property owner knew or should have known about, you may have a case. A quick consultation with LifeLaw can help you know for sure.
2. What should I do immediately after a slip and fall accident?
Document everything. Take photos of the scene and any visible injuries, report the accident to the property owner or manager, seek medical attention, and save all records. Then, contact LifeLaw to begin building your case.
3. How much is a slip and fall case worth?
The value depends on the severity of your injury, how it’s impacted your ability to work and live normally, and the extent of the property owner’s negligence. Compensation may include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more.
4. How long do I have to file a slip and fall lawsuit in Utah?
In Utah, the statute of limitations for most personal injury cases, including slip and falls, is four years from the date of the injury. However, waiting too long can weaken your case, so it’s best to act quickly.
5. What if the property owner denies responsibility?
That’s common — and it’s why having experienced slip and fall attorneys on your side matters. At LifeLaw, we collect evidence, work with medical and liability experts, and handle negotiations to fight for the compensation you deserve.
6. Will I have to go to court?
Most slip and fall cases are settled outside of court. However, if a fair settlement isn’t offered, we’re fully prepared to take your case to trial and advocate on your behalf.
7. How much does it cost to hire LifeLaw?
You pay nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning we only get paid if we win your case. Your consultation is free, and we’re here to support you from day one.
