What Caused Your Slip and Fall?

During the investigation process, we seek to determine the cause of your slip and fall incident. Whether it was a negligent property owner, careless employees, or decay or lack of maintenance on the property.


Some of the most common reasons slip and fall incidents occur:

Poor lighting

Frayed or torn carpet

Icy, slippery, snowy grounds

Uneven, cracked, or warped

Broken walkways or stairways

Lack of security measures
