Premises Liability Accidents
Some type of unsafe condition is usually the cause of a person slipping or tripping and falling. Each case is different, but generally speaking, a property owner has a duty to properly maintain his land or building, and if he/she fails to do so and an injury results, the owner can be held accountable.
Common causes of slip and fall accidents include:
- Uneven floors, sidewalks or elevators
- Cracked sidewalks
- Failing to properly clean floors
- Slippery floors
- Falling objects
- Failing to properly secure carpeting or rugs
- Inadequate lighting
- Broken handrails, screens or other safety feature
