A slip and fall injury is one suffered when slips on something and falls down, perhaps breaking an arm or leg or twisting a joint. Slip and fall cases are like when someone steps into a puddle of ketchup in the grocery store aisle after someone dropped the bottle then left without telling anyone about it. This is a tort. The person who dropped the bottle might be sued for not having it cleaned up and the store might be sued for failing to notice it, thereby not preventing a dangerous situation when it has a duty to do so to its customers.

How do you file a lawsuit for a slip and fall injury if you were intoxicated at the time of the injury and what kind of attorney will handle the case?
Slip and fall lawsuits are very complicated. Merely slipping and falling on someone else's property does not necessarily mean that they are legally liable for your injures. You will have to prove that the landowner or operator of the premises was negligent, and that their negligence caused your injuries. Furthermore, you will have to show that your intoxication did not cause your injuries. Because of the complexity of your case, you will need to consult with a personal injury attorney. To ensure the best outcome for your case, I suggest you work with a personal injury attorney who has a significant part of his or her practice dedicated to premises liability (slip-and-falls). You can find these attorneys in your local phonebook, online, or by contacting your state's bar association.
