Slip and fall accidents also include trip and fall accidents, and incidents caused by falling objects.

The majority of slip and fall accidents happen because of hazardous or dangerous conditions. These are often associated with improper maintenance, obstacles, or poor design. A slip and fall accident can occur because of spills, food, water leaks, slippery surfaces, inadequate lighting, defective flooring, or other objects left in pathways.
Some of the most common locations for slip and fall accidents include uneven surfaces, ladders, stairs, unguarded heights, door ways, ramps, cluttered hallways, areas with heavy traffic, area prone to spills and or unstable work surfaces.
Not every slip and fall or trip and fall accident is caused by negligence, but if there were any hazards present that caused you to sustain an injury, you may have grounds to pursue a legal claim against the responsible party. Property owners always have a duty of care to keep the area free from hazards and dangers for people who are reasonably on the property.
In the event that the hazard cannot be fixed right away, appropriate signage should be placed and the general area blocked off so people are not placed in harm’s way.
According to research, falls are the second leading cause of unintentional deaths in communities and homes across the country. In 2009, falls accounted for more than 25,000 fatalities.

They also come at significant costs of between $60 billion and $80 billion every year in the form of workers’ compensation claims, insurance claims, medical costs, litigation costs, and other associated expenses.
