What Causes Slip and Fall Accidents?

When property owner negligence causes a slip and fall accident, this may result from a failure to properly maintain or routinely inspect property grounds. A retail store is a simple example of a place where a slip and fall accident may be likely to occur. The store owner or manager may fail to clean up a spill in a timely manner or may fail to place a warning sign to inform visitors of the potential danger. The owner may have the floors waxed without placing signs informing patrons to be cautious. There may be standing water or any slippery substance on the floor (such as spilled food or a condiment), or the floor itself may be slippery. There may be water or another liquid or substance that was not properly cleared from the parking lot or store entrance. There are virtually countless hazardous conditions that may cause a slip and fall accident to occur.
