What Causes Slip and Fall Accidents?
At Diaco Law, we want to be abundantly clear on this: slip and fall accidents do not just happen. They are caused by the negligence of other people, and they are almost always preventable. Here are a few of the most common ways that the negligence of other people cause slip and fall injuries:
- Failing to clean up spilled liquids on a jobsite or in a store;
- Failing to maintain an even, solid surface for people who enter into a business or jobsite;
- Poor or inadequate lighting that leaves people unable to see where they are going in a store, business, or jobsite;
- Failing to properly remove debris from walkways;
- Improperly stacked merchandise;
- Missing warning signs;
- No handrails on stairs or steps;
- Electrical cords or lines obstructing paths;
- Unmarked raise sidewalks or parking lots;
- Failure to abide by federal, state, or local safety requirements.
