Common Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents
Slip and fall accidents are very common, especially on properties that are unsafe. Property owners actually have a legal responsibility to ensure that their properties are safe to be on or near. If they fail in this responsibility, the effect may be devastating for an unsuspecting person. Many factors can lead to a slip and fall accident. In some cases, these injuries are serious
and may require extensive medical attention. In premises liability lawsuits, those who are injured in slip and fall accidents on unsafe property can sometimes obtain financial compensation from the property owner.
