Slip and fall accidents are among the most common types of premises liability cases. Whether caused by a wet floor, spilled liquid, uneven flooring, or poor lighting, slip and fall injuries can range from minor bruises to severe fractures, concussions, or even permanent disabilities.

Property owners are legally obligated to fix hazardous conditions or warn visitors about them. If they fail to do so, they could be held responsible for the accident and resulting injuries.

Common Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents Include:

• Wet or slippery floors

• Ice and snow accumulation

• Poorly lit walkways

• Potholes or uneven pavement

• Spilled liquids or debris

• Broken or damaged flooring

• Lack of warning signs

Trip and Fall Accidents in Atlanta: What You Need to Know

Trip and fall accidents occur when an individual trips over an obstruction or uneven surface. These accidents often lead to severe injuries, especially for older adults. Dangerous conditions like broken sidewalks, loose carpets, and poorly maintained steps can cause unsuspecting individuals to trip and fall.

Common Causes of Trip and Fall Accidents Include:

• Uneven pavement or sidewalks

• Loose or torn carpeting

• Cluttered walkways

• Faulty or broken stairs

• Exposed electrical cords

• Inadequate signage or warnings
