Slip and fall claims are civil law cases that involve the injury of one party, the plaintiff, on the defendant's property. These cases almost always involve allegations of negligence, rather than intentional harm caused by the defendant. Slip and fall claims may be directed toward small claims court in minor instances, but can involve high damage levels if injury results in extensive damage claims, or if the claim is brought against a business rather than an individual.

The form of negligence and manner of the injury are often defining features in different types of slip and fall claims. The legal basis behind most slip and fall claims is that property owners have some responsibility to ensure the safety of visitors, whether they are guests, employees, or customers. Regardless of what type of claim is made, slip and fall decisions are generally made after determining if negligence existed on the part of the property owner, or if reckless behavior on the part of the plaintiff caused the incident.
