A quick definition of slip-and-fall case:

A slip-and-fall case is when someone sues another person or business because they were injured from slipping and falling, usually on the other person's property. It's a type of lawsuit where the plaintiff claims that the defendant was negligent and didn't take proper care to prevent the accident. Sometimes people use the term "slip-and-fall case" to refer to any small legal case involving harm caused by someone else's actions.

A more thorough explanation:

A slip-and-fall case is a type of lawsuit where a person sues another person or business for injuries they sustained from slipping and falling, usually on the defendant's property. This type of case falls under the category of negligence, which means that the defendant failed to take reasonable care to prevent the accident from happening.

For example, if someone slips and falls on a wet floor in a grocery store and suffers injuries, they may file a slip-and-fall case against the store for not putting up a warning sign or cleaning up the spill in a timely manner.

Another example could be if someone trips and falls on a broken sidewalk outside of a business and suffers injuries, they may file a slip-and-fall case against the business for not maintaining the sidewalk properly.

Overall, slip-and-fall cases are a way for individuals to seek compensation for injuries they suffered due to someone else's negligence.
