Causes of Dangerous Slip & Fall Accidents
“Slip and fall” injuries and “trip and fall injuries” are the most common type of accident that occurs in a store or business. Most disturbing, however, is that most of these accidents could have been easily prevented with the correct amount of inspection and maintenance by the store owners and employees.
Unsafe conditions or unaddressed hazard can quite easily create somebody to slip or trip and also fall, and also can cause severe injuries, and even death. Slip & fall accidents can happen anywhere and also at any time and can usually cause all types of complex injuries. Flight terminals, hotels and resorts, pizzerias, food stores and also shopping malls are just a few examples of a few of the locations in which these unfortunate incidents can take place. A slip and fall accident can additionally create significant economic stress and anxiety as medical expenses accumulate and the injured person can't function.

At Trial Pro, we have seen the high price of property owner negligence. Slip and fall accidents can result in serious injuries, long hospital stays, costly treatment, lifelong physical pain, and even wrongful death. That’s too high a price for any victim to pay.
Business owners have a responsibility to maintain their property in a reasonably safe condition. As such, we believe businesses should routinely inspect their floors for debris, spilled liquids, and other slip-trip hazards. We also believe that businesses should promptly, clearly, and obviously warn unsuspecting customers of any dangerous conditions until they are cleaned or repaired.
