Homeowners, business and apartment building owners and managers, and retail establishment owners and managers are responsible for keeping their premises safe for residents, customers and visitors. When they fail in that responsibility, the result can be a serious slip-and-fall injury. If you have suffered a slip-and-fall or other injury, talk to a premises liability lawyer about your accident.
- Icy surfaces: Failure to properly clear and salt icy steps, sidewalks or parking lots can cause a serious fall. Snow and ice left long after a storm is especially dangerous.
- Unexpected, unrepaired potholes: Potholes in parking lots can be particularly dangerous at night if the lot is unlighted or inadequately lighted. A sudden surface change can cause a complicated fracture or a head injury.
- Slippery floors: When a slippery floor results from poor maintenance — a slippery spot left uncleaned or a leaking refrigeration unit, for example — the situation can cause slip-and-fall injuries.
- Code violation: Improper handrails, uneven stairs and inadequate lighting can cause a fall and injury.
- Inadequate security: Inadequate security can lead to violent assaults and serious injuries. When a parking garage or building lobby does not have visible cameras and security guards, the situation can be life-threatening.
