San Marcos slip and fall accidents can occur due to a variety of factors, including:
-
-
- Unsafe Conditions: Slippery surfaces due to spills, wet floors, or recently mopped areas can lead to slip and fall accidents, often in commercial stores where liquid substances are purchased.
-
- Uneven Surfaces: Cracked sidewalks, potholes, or uneven flooring can cause individuals to trip and fall. Cracked or uneven sidewalks are a huge source of liability for cities, who must regularly inspect all city walkways and respond diligently to complaints.
- Inadequate Lighting: Poorly lit areas can make it difficult for individuals to see potential hazards, increasing the risk of slips and falls.
- Lack of Handrails: Absence or inadequacy of handrails on staircases can result in falls, especially for individuals with mobility issues. Stairs that fail to meet local building codes and standards are a frequent source of liability.
- Weather Conditions: Rain, ice, or snow can create slippery surfaces both indoors and outdoors, contributing to slip and fall accidents. Stores and other commercial enterprises must protect customers from dangerous situations that may be created by wet weather.
