What Can Cause a Slip, Trip and Fall Injury

Any business that welcomes the public has a duty to keep their visitors reasonably safe. That means taking reasonable steps to keep their property free of dangerous conditions. Unfortunately, property owners do not always live up to this duty, resulting in one of their visitors getting injured.

These are some of the potential hazards that could cause a slip and fall accident:

• Merchandize fallen from shelves that are overloaded or improperly stocked.
• Food, liquids and other slippery substances spilled on the floors.
• Cracked, peeled or uneven floors and walking surfaces, including torn carpeting, broken stairs, and patios.
• Insufficient lighting that makes it difficult for an individual to notice a slip and fall hazard.
• Overcrowded or congested areas, such as in aisles, dance floors, elevators and even parking lots.
• Malfunctioning escalators and elevators creating a hazardous condition.
• This hazardous condition was the cause of the slip and fall accident and subsequent injury.
• The property owner, manager, or responsible employee knew, or should have known that the hazardous condition existed.
• Those in charge, at the time of the accident failed to take reasonable steps to remediate the hazard or adequately warn visitors that it existed.
