Understanding the common causes of slip and fall accidents may be your best defense in avoiding these potentially dangerous accidents. It is important both to be aware of the common dangers that lead to falls and to know what to do if you've been hurt.

Common Causes of Slip and Fall Injuries

Some common causes of New York slip and fall accidents include:
  • Slippery Surfaces can occur inside or outside. Often, wet or icy surfaces become slippery and can cause accidents. Additionally, oily or slick substances or even the proverbial banana peel can cause slip and fall injuries.
  • Uneven Surfaces such as broken floors or stairs can lead people to trip and suffer serious injuries.
  • Objects in the Way that a reasonable person would not anticipate being in his or her path can cause a person to slip or trip and fall and get hurt.
