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.
