Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents

Slip and fall incidents typically occur when the floor is slick or wet, causing a fall. This can happen because a floor was washed and became slippery or because a spill or leak occurred and was not cleaned up. Incidents can also happen because of smooth flooring surfaces, which can pose an added risk. In most cases, slip and fall accidents are preventable. Property owners can prevent slips and falls in a few ways:

• By checking regularly for spilled substances and cleaning them up
• By addressing leaks and other hazards before they cause an injury
• By installing flooring that is not excessively smooth and slippery and by correctly maintaining floors
• By having a regular cleaning schedule to wipe up wet areas on the floor
• Using extra caution and increasing mopping frequency on rainy days, when water is tracked onto a property, can pose an added risk
• By placing warning signs around freshly mopped areas and areas that are drying

If a slip and fall injury was caused by someone’s failure to take these steps and if the injury occurred on property owned by someone else, the injured party may have a legal claim. They may be able to seek compensation for medical bills, lost time at work, and other losses.
