Slip and fall accidents are extremely common and can cause very serious injuries. We are all subject to the laws of gravity, and when we lose balance or trip, the landing can be quite unpleasant. The further we fall, the harder we land, and the more likely we are to suffer harm. A fall down stairs can be especially devastating because it typically involves a series of impacts as the body hits stair after stair before coming to a halt.
