|  Shopping and dining shouldn’t be considered hazardous activities, but when a transient substance on the floor of an establishment creates unstable footing, slip-and-fall accidents can occur. From restaurants to retail stores, customers should be able to expect safe walkways, but spilled liquids, leaking freezers, or dripping air conditioning units can suddenly turn a casual stroll into a frightening and potentially injurious fall.
A related form of accident is the trip and fall, Here, negligent conditions such as improperly stacked merchandise or exposed cords and cables create hazardous walkways. In yet another scenario, equipment, fixtures or other items that fall onto or near customers can be a direct cause of injury, or they can cause falls that lead to injuries.
The causes of falling are many and so are the potential injuries. From sprained ankles and twisted knees, to broken bones and skull fractures, falls can have far-reaching impacts in a person’s life. The inability to work, care for a family or conduct one’s normal activities is a disruption that no one should have to endure. Therefore, when a property owner fails to take reasonable steps to monitor the condition of the premises, that party can be held liable for the injuries you sustain as a result of such negligence.
