Some Causes of Trip and Fall Accidents in CemeteriesTrip and fall accidents can happen anywhere, including in cemeteries, graveyards, and funeral homes, for instance. These incidents can happen at any time that a hazard is present. Some of the common hazards associated with trip and fall accidents can include the following:
- Poor maintenance
- Lack of maintenance
- Raised concrete
- Potholes
- Holes on the ground
- Falling into a dug hole
- Lack of warning signs
- Misplaced mats
Without a doubt, other hazards could exist that could lead to other accidents in a cemetery. For instance, wet grass (which is very common in cemeteries) can cause unsuspecting parties to slip and fall. Regardless of the specific cause of the incident or the type of incident that you suffered on the premises of a cemetery, you likely suffered at least some injuries.
Potential InjuriesVictims of trip and fall accidents can suffer many different injuries, some of which could include the following: head injuries; traumatic brain injuries; dislocated shoulders and other shoulder injuries; broken or sprained wrists; knee injuries; broken or sprained ankles; nerve injuries; lacerations; scrapes and bruises. Regardless of the harm resulting from the incident, it is important for victims and their families to be aware of their legal options. If you or a member of your family were injured in a cemetery trip and fall accident, you might have grounds to file a personal injury claim.

Who is liable for the harm resulting from the trip and fall accident that you or a member of your family suffered at a cemetery? Liability for cemetery incidents is typically based on premise liability. Based on premise liability, all property owners owe guests on their property a duty of care. That is, property owners have a duty to ensure that their entire premises are free of any dangerous conditions that could lead to incidents. When property owners fail to keep their premises safe, they can directly contribute to incidents and harm to guests. Because of this, property owners could be liable for the harm resulting from any incidents.
Who owns the cemetery? Cemeteries are typically privately owned, although there are many cemeteries that are owned by the government. This means that affected victims could sue the private owner or even the government entity that owns the cemetery. If you would like to learn more about liability for cemetery incidents, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with the cemetery trip and fall lawyers at our firm immediately.
