Clarksville Slip-and-Fall Accident Lawyers Fighting For Injured Victims
Last updated on May 22, 2025
A slip-and-fall accident can happen in seconds but potentially change your life forever. These incidents often occur due to negligent property maintenance or failure to warn of dangerous conditions, leading to serious injuries that may require extensive medical treatment, time away from work and significant lifestyle adjustments.

With decades of experience serving Montgomery County and surrounding Tennessee areas, we have successfully obtained substantial settlements and verdicts for clients.
Common Causes Of Slip-and-Fall Accidents
Property owners are legally required to maintain safe premises for visitors and promptly address hazardous conditions. The most frequent causes of slip-and-fall accidents we encounter include:
- Wet or slippery floors without proper warning signs
- Uneven walking surfaces and cracked sidewalks
- Poorly maintained staircases with damaged steps or missing handrails
- Inadequate lighting in walkways, stairwells and parking areas
- Loose carpeting, rugs or floor mats without proper securing
- Electrical cords or debris obstructing walkways
- Ice and snow accumulation that has not been properly cleared
These hazardous conditions are particularly common in retail establishments, restaurants, apartment complexes, office buildings and other public places throughout Clarksville and nearby communities.
Serious Injuries From Slip-and-Fall Accidents
The injuries sustained in slip-and-fall accidents are often far more severe than many people realize. The sudden, unexpected nature of these incidents gives victims no opportunity to brace themselves, frequently resulting in serious trauma. Common injuries include traumatic brain injuries from head impact, spinal cord damage, broken hips requiring surgery, severe fractures to arms and legs, torn ligaments and tendons and dislocated shoulders.
