Common Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents
Many slip and fall accidents are preventable. Property owners have a duty to maintain safe conditions. When they don’t, people get hurt. Here are some of the most common causes:
- Wet or slippery floors
- Uneven pavement or flooring
- Loose rugs or mats
- Poor lighting in stairwells or walkways
- Clutter or debris on floors
Proving the cause of your fall is key to filing a successful injury claim. Photos and witness statements help establish what went wrong and who was responsible.
