Common Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents

Slip and fall incidents can happen anywhere, including:

  • Grocery stores and shopping malls

  • Parking lots and plazas

  • Apartment buildings and condos

  • Restaurants, bars, and entertainment venues

  • Private homes and driveways

  • Sidewalks, staircases, and hallways

  • Workplaces and public spaces

Falls are often caused by:

  • Icy or snowy walkways

  • Wet floors without warning signs

  • Poor lighting

  • Broken or uneven staircases

  • Cracked, uneven, or slippery surfaces

  • Debris or clutter on floors

If your fall was caused by an unsafe condition, the property owner or occupier may be responsible.
