Slip and fall accident occur frequently in different premises – streets, retail stores, parking lots, a set of stairs, and many other places. But is it the fault of the individual who falls? There are several circumstances where a slip and fall accident can be attributed to another person or entity.
There are a number of factors that can come into play for slip and fall cases such as poor lighting, structural damages, lack of security, wet/slippery floors, and conditions that are not up to code.
