  • Filing a lawsuit if the insurance company refuses to make a reasonable settlement offer.

What Are Common Causes Of Slip and Fall Accidents?

Understanding the common causes of slip and fall accidents can help prevent these types of accidents from occurring in the future. These accidents often arise from a property owner or manager failing to properly maintain their property or failing to warn others of potential hazards and dangers on a property, including:

  • Poor lighting conditions
  • Wet or slippery floors
  • Uneven surfaces
  • Broken or missing stairs
  • Broken or missing handrails
  • Loose carpeting
  • Unsecured wires, cables, or cords
  • Cluttered walkways
  • Improper footwear
When the proper precautions are taken, a slip and fall accident can be prevented.

How to Prevent Slip and Fall Accidents

A property owner or manager can help prevent a slip and fall accident by:

Posting Caution Signs

If the floors are being waxed or cleaned, the wet or slippery surfaces can pose a threat to visitors. By posting caution signs notifying pedestrians of the dangerous area and to walk with caution, an accident can be avoided.

Fixing Defects

If a property manager or owner is aware of any existing defects in flooring such as uneven surfaces, holes, or cracks, they should fix the dangerous conditions or post warning signs of the condition to notify any pedestrians in the area.

Cleaning

An owner or manager should promptly clean up spills on any walking surfaces as soon as possible.

Routine Inspections

Property owners and managers should routinely inspect their property, looking for dangerous conditions.

Educating Employees

Owners and managers should train employees to identify potentially hazardous conditions and what they can do to correct them or warn visitors and patrons about them.

Even if the property manager or owner takes all the proper precautions to prevent an accident, an accident can still occur. If you are injured in a slip and fall accident, you should contact a slip and fall injury lawyer at Parker and Waichman LLP, as soon as possible.

Proving Liability for Slip and Fall Claims

Slip and falls can occur as the result of negligence by the person who owns or controls the property. 

To prove negligence, the injured party must show:

  • The owner of the property owed them a duty of care
  • The owner of the property breached their duty of care
  • The owner of the property’s breach resulted in the other party’s injuries
  • The injured party suffered damages
It can be challenging to prove the property owner breached their duty by an act or omission, resulting in damages. The injured party must prove all elements of negligence to recover compensation for their accident-related losses.

Damages for Slip and Fall Injuries

The damages you’re entitled to will depend on the specific circumstances surrounding your case. In some instances, a slip and fall accident victim can recover compensation for:

  • Past and future medical bills
  • Rehabilitation costs
  • Pain and suffering
  • Lost wages
  • Loss of quality of life
  • Emotional distress
