Understanding Slip and Fall Accidents
Slip and fall accidents occur when a person slips, trips, or falls due to unsafe conditions on someone else’s property. These types of accidents can result in serious injuries, including broken bones, sprains, head trauma, and back injuries. Slip and fall cases fall under premises liability law, which holds property owners responsible for maintaining safe conditions and addressing hazards that could cause harm.
Common Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents
Slip and fall accidents can be caused by a variety of factors, including:
- Wet or Slippery Floors: Spills, leaks, or recently mopped floors can create hazardous conditions.
- Uneven Surfaces: Cracked or uneven pavement, sidewalks, or flooring can cause trips and falls.
- Poor Lighting: Inadequate lighting can make it difficult to see hazards and navigate safely.
- Loose or Torn Carpeting: Carpets that are loose or damaged can be a tripping hazard.
- Clutter or Obstructions: Items left in walkways or aisles can cause individuals to trip and fall.
- Ice and Snow: Slip and fall accidents are common in winter months due to icy or snowy conditions.
