Common Causes of Slip & Fall Accidents
Slip and fall accidents are often caused by unsafe property conditions, including:
Wet or Slippery Floors – Spills, leaks, or recently mopped floors without warning signs.
Uneven Surfaces – Broken sidewalks, potholes, or poorly maintained flooring.
Loose Carpets & Rugs – Unsecured rugs, mats, or torn carpeting causing trips.
Poor Lighting – Dimly lit stairwells, parking lots, or hallways increasing the risk of falls.
Cluttered Walkways – Debris, cords, or merchandise left in aisles.
Defective Stairs or Railings – Loose handrails or broken steps leading to falls.
Icy or Snow-Covered Walkways – Failure to clear snow or ice from business entrances.
If a hazardous condition on someone else’s property caused your fall, Fairmont Law Firm will fight for your right to compensation.
