Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents in Jackson
Slip and fall accidents happen when a property owner fails to keep their location safe, and you fall there. It is critical to establish a duty of care, meaning that you had the right to be there and assume you were safe. Consider some of the most common causes of the types of slip and fall cases we take.
- Uneven floors or parking lots
- Wet floors
- Inadequate lighting
- Debris and clutter
- Lack of handrails or unsecured handrails on steps
- Loose floorboards
No matter where you slip and fall, from a local business to a school, nursing home, or hospital, you may have the right to hold the property owner or manager accountable. A property owner must take reasonable care to ensure their premises is safe. If they fail to do that, you may be able to pursue compensation for your losses.
