How do slip and fall incidents occur?
Slip and fall incidents are often the result of negligent store owners or employees. It is vital that property owners take steps to prevent slip and fall incidents. They can do this by properly training their employees and ensuring all areas of their property are regularly inspected and maintained.
Slip and fall accidents are commonly caused by:

- Electrical cords on the floor
- Low-lying obstacles
- Torn or loose carpeting or floorboards
