Understanding Slip & Fall Accidents in Bend, OR
Slip and fall accidents often happen when a person encounters poorly maintained buildings and property. Clients may get injured falling on handicapped parking lots, poolside, walkways, ramps, wet, icy, or slick surfaces, stairs that are missing handrails, at the grocery store, restaurants, or on a property littered with debris and other tripping hazards.
Private property owners must warn others about potential hazards on the premises. It is the owner’s responsibility to keep their property reasonably safe from dangers, debris, and other conditions and objects that can cause someone to fall and get hurt. Customers, guests, and other visitors to a person’s property should be able to assume that a property is safe from slip and fall dangers.
Establishing Liability in Slip-&-Fall Cases
Under Oregon law, property owners and managers have a legal duty to maintain safe premises for visitors. To prove liability in a slip-and-fall case, you must demonstrate the following:
- Duty of Care: The property owner owed you a duty of care to maintain a safe environment.
- Breach of Duty: The property owner failed to address or warn of a hazard.
- Causation: The hazardous condition directly caused your injury.
- Damages: You suffered injuries and financial losses as a result.
Our Bend slip and fall attorneys gather evidence such as surveillance footage, maintenance records, and witness testimony to build a compelling case on your behalf.
Common Injuries in Slip & Fall Accidents
Some of the most common slip and fall accident injuries include broken bones in the hand, vertebrae, and hips. Slip and fall accidents can also cause traumatic brain injuries. All of these and more form the bases of personal injury claims. Our experienced slip and fall lawyers at Precision Litigation Northwest have handled many injury cases, including lawsuits that were filed because of the following hazardous conditions:
- Trips because of debris on the floor.

Under a slip and fall accident in Oregon, you may be entitled to recover a multitude of damages for your injuries. You can recover monetary compensation for lost wages, medical bills, future lost wages, lost earning capacity, pain and suffering, and more.
It’s not advisable to try and negotiate a complicated slip and fall accident with the negligent party’s insurance company. They aren’t on your side and don’t want to see you get the compensation you deserve. But we’re committed to obtaining a fair and just settlement for your pain and anguish.
