Common Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents

Common Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents Due to Negligence

  • Icy or Snowy Surfaces: Neglected parking lots and sidewalks increase the risk of dangerous falls.
  • Poor Lighting: Inadequate lighting in stairways, sidewalks, or parking lots can lead to unseen hazards.
  • Wet or Slippery Floors: Lack of proper signage for wet floors creates unnecessary slip risks.
  • Obstructions and Hazards: Tripping over poorly maintained walkways or unnoticed defects can result in severe injuries.
  • Neglected Maintenance: Faulty stairways, broken flooring, or unaddressed hazards can cause life-altering accidents.

Sometimes people slip or trip because of factors having nothing to do with someone else’s negligence. But in other situations, the carelessness of a property owner or property occupant can lead to conditions that cause this type of accident.

These conditions include:

  • Icy parking lots
  • Icy/snowy sidewalks
  • Inadequate lighting on stairways, sidewalks or parking lots
  • Slippery, wet floors without proper signage
  • Obstructions or defects that are tripping hazards
  • Poorly maintained walkways, stairways or flooring

Any of these things can lead to a fall so catastrophic that you are left with life-altering, even disabling physical injuries.
