Emeryville Slip and Fall Accident Attorney
Emeryville Premises Liability Lawyers
Slip and fall accidents, or trip and fall accidents as they are also called, are the leading cause of unintentional injuries in the United States. Slip and fall accidents occur when a dangerous or hazardous condition exists on a premise or piece of land. An example of a common dangerous premise condition is wet floors. Water, or any liquid substance on a walking surface can interfere with foot traction. Without traction, a person can easily lose their balance and fall. Other examples of dangerous or hazardous premise conditions, include:
- Dimly lit hallways or stairways
- Cracked steps
- Cords or wiring in pathway
- Torn or loose carpeting
- Uneven walking surfaces
- Missing handrails
- Falling objects
- Inadequate security
- Potholes in walking surfaces
- Malfunctioning escalators
- Failure to provide handicap accessibility.
