According to the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation, slip and fall injuries accounted for over 30% of all work-related injuries reported in Cleveland over the last five years. This aligns with national data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which estimates that falls are the leading cause of injury-related emergency room visits across the U.S.
Slip and fall accidents can occur virtually anywhere. It doesn’t matter whether you are shopping at Constantino’s Market on 1278 W. 9th St. or a new restaurant in the Residential District; slip and fall injuries happen when you least expect them.

Public parks like Edgewater Park or Wade Oval often experience accidents on walkways due to poor lighting or weather conditions.

It can be intimidating to think about pursuing an insurance claim or a civil lawsuit against the party responsible for your fall. It doesn’t matter whether you fell due to a broken stair rail, tripped over cracked pavement, or slipped on a wet floor. If negligence caused your injuries, they must be held accountable.
The claims process can vary case by case. However, generally, you can expect the following after a slip and fall:
Ohio’s comparative negligence rule means that if you are partially responsible for your slip and fall, your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you were found 20% responsible, your compensation would be reduced by 20%. If you’re more than 50% at fault, you cannot recover any compensation.
This is why it’s important to have an experienced Cleveland slip and fall attorney by your side to minimize claims of comparative fault and maximize your recovery.
Property owners often try to avoid liability by claiming that the dangerous condition was “open and obvious”, meaning you should have been able to see and avoid the hazard.
Other defenses include blaming the victim’s carelessness or claiming they didn’t know about the danger. KNR counters these defenses by:

Property owners who place warning signs near hazards hope to reduce their liability in the event of an injury. However, if the warning sign was not put in a location where it was easily seen, or the sign did not accurately inform you of the hazards or dangers, you could still file an insurance claim or a civil lawsuit.Since Ohio is a modified comparative negligence state, if your portion of fault does not exceed 50%, you can still recover compensation for your damages.
When slip and fall injuries occur in parking lots or garages, the individual or entity who owns the parking lot can be sued for damages if their negligence contributed to your injuries. For instance, failure to clear snow and ice or repair potholes in a timely manner can make the property owner liable.
Ohio Revised Code ORC § 2305.10 clearly states that the statute of limitations for slip and fall injury claims is two years.Although that may seem like plenty of time to pursue your claim, the sooner you get an attorney working on your case, the more likely we can recover crucial supporting evidence that may only be available for a short period. The courts will prohibit you from pursuing your case civilly if your slip and fall injury claim is not filed before this deadline.
The open and obvious rule allows property owners to avoid being found liable for injury victim’s damages if the dangerous conditions could be considered obvious and open to other reasonable individuals. However, even with this defense, there are often exceptions that can still hold the property owner responsible. Consult an attorney to explore your legal options.
Yes, you may be able to file a claim if you slipped on ice in front of a business. Ohio law distinguishes between natural and unnatural accumulations of ice and snow. If the ice was a result of poor maintenance, such as a leaking gutter or improper snow removal, the business may be liable for your injuries.
After a slip and fall accident, it’s important to:
Yes, if you slipped and fell in your apartment building, the landlord or property management company could be held liable for failing to maintain safe conditions in common areas like hallways, stairwells, or entryways. Documenting the hazardous condition and reporting it to your landlord as soon as possible strengthens your case.
You may be entitled to recover:
The timeline for resolving a slip and fall case varies depending on its complexity, the severity of your injuries, and whether the case goes to trial. Some cases settle within months, while others may take over a year if they proceed to court. KNR works diligently to resolve cases as quickly as possible while ensuring maximum compensation.
