One of the top causes of slip and fall accidents is poorly-maintained flooring, including worn, loose, crumbling, and slippery flooring materials. Other common hazards include floor clutter, spilled food and drinks, unsecured rugs, and debris like broken concrete, leaves, and trash. Environmental hazards such as black ice and other weather-related conditions can contribute, so can poor lighting, missing handrails, and poorly-designed ramps and stairways that are slip and fall accidents waiting to happen.
