Common Reasons for Slip and Fall Injuries

Falls can happen for many reasons. However, if someone is responsible for repairing or maintaining the location, you may be entitled to compensation that covers medical costs, pain and suffering, and potential losses to income or enjoyment of life. Here are a few reasons slip and fall accidents occur.

• Uneven floors – When a foundation shifts, it can leave the ground unlevel. This may lead to wavy or bumpy floors that can be difficult to navigate.
• Wet/slippery floors – Standing water is a common cause of falls. The water can be from leaky windows, rainy walkways, or improperly cleaned floors.
• Long cords –  Electronics with long cords should not be stretched across the floor or walkway. Make sure to tuck them against walls or around doorways.
• Raised or cracked sidewalks – Time, weather, or construction can all lead to sidewalks in disrepair. An expectation that a sidewalk will be safe should be recognized and those responsible for it should fix or appropriately post warning signs.
• Inadequate lighting – Being unable to see is an easy way to trip and fall over. Businesses are responsible for keeping things safe, and that means adequately lit.
• Drop-offs – A building adding an extension or a stairway may result in a drop-off that is deeper than normal and can cause people to stumble and fall. These should be properly posted with warning signs.
• Broken or rickety railings – If you stumbled and fell because a railing fell out of your hand or didn’t support you, you could be entitled to compensation. The owners should be maintaining safety items such as railings.

Of course, it’s best to avoid mistakes when filing a slip and fall accident claim, but if possible, contact a lawyer as soon as possible.
