Causes Of Slip-And-Fall Accidents
Slip-and-fall accidents can occur in any type of building. Many happen in grocery stores, restaurants, shopping malls and other commercial property.
How did your accident occur? Some accidents are unforeseeable, but many are caused by negligent property owners who fail to prevent or remove hazards. Common causes of slip-and-fall accidents include:
- Ice and snow on sidewalks
- Spills on floors
- Tripping hazards left in hallways and walkways
- Cracks and potholes in walkways
- Tears in carpets
- Inadequate lighting
- Faulty stairs and railings
Property owners and their insurance providers aggressively defend against slip-and-fall injury claims. They may claim they could not have foreseen the accident. They may even argue that you were to blame for your own injury.
