Examples of Negligence in Slip and Fall Accidents
If you know if a property owner was negligent in a slip and fall accident it can help you decide if you can file a personal injury claim. Some of the most common reasons people slip and fall on premises owned and/or controlled by someone else include wet floors, accumulation of ice and snow on surfaces that people walk on, objects and debris left in walkways, uneven and damaged flooring, such as frayed and worn carpets, loose rugs and floor runners, cracked sidewalks, loose, damaged or missing handrails, badly designed steps and stairs, and poor lighting in areas used by the public.
