Common Causes Of Slip-And-Fall Accidents

You live in a cold and snowy place. Sometimes a slip and fall cannot be avoided, but other times the danger presented by ice and snow has been magnified by a property owner’s failure to reasonably remove ice or snow, the failure to properly put down sand or salt, or the improper placement of downspouts. When a property owner magnifies the normal danger of ice and snow contributing to the cause of a fall the property owner is negligent and may be responsible for paying its reasonable share of the damages that it has caused.

Some slip-and-falls have nothing to do with ice and snow but are caused by other factors. Let’s look at some other common causes of slip-and-fall accidents:

  • Loose carpets
  • Broken sidewalks
  • Lack of handrails
  • Improper lighting that makes it hard to see
  • Failure to properly clean slippery substances off floors
  • Clutter, exposed cables, or other obstructions in walkways
