How often do Brooklyn Heights slip and fall incidents occur?

We have all heard of slip and fall or trip and fall incidents. What many people do not realize is that they are the most common form of premises liability incidents, and they can lead to serious injuries. The National Floor Safety Institute says that around one million people seek treatment in hospitals each year for slip and fall injuries. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) tells us that older Americans are more at risk of major injuries due to a slip and fall incident.

However, people of any age can be injured in these incidents. It is not uncommon for us to see the following injuries as a result of a slip and fall:

These injuries can lead to major medical expenses for a victim. If a person has to miss work while they recover, they could lose the income they need to pay their regular household bills.

What are the common causes of slip and fall incidents?

There are various ways in which these incidents occur. Some of the most common causes include:

  • Spills of food and drinks on the floor that have not been cleaned up
  • Electrical cords and other wires running across the floor
  • Defects in the pavement or other walking surfaces
  • Carpeting that is loose or torn
  • Inadequate lighting in a pedestrian area
  • No wet floor signs after an area have been mopped
  • And more

It is the responsibility of property and business owners to regularly inspect and maintain their premises to prevent these slip and fall cases. If they fail to do so, they could be held liable for damages and injuries.
