Slip & Fall Accidents

When hazardous conditions such as a slippery floor or an ice-y walk cause someone to slip and fall, this is known as a slip and fall accident. Property owners have the responsibility to ensure their premises are safe so no one gets hurt or at least to warn visitors by posting signs if there is a dangerous area. Spilled substances, poorly list areas, obscured holes in the ground and uneven flooring are all conditions that property owners must in some way remedy once they have become aware of them.

Slip and fall accidents can take place anywhere – in a shopping mall, a parking lot, the grocery store, in an apartment building or on private property such as a neighbor’s lawn.
