Common Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents

Slip and fall accidents and trip and fall accidents can cause serious injuries. These incidents
happen for a wide range of different reasons. Some common safety hazards that cause slip and
falls include:

Wet or Slippery Surfaces: Floors become hazardous when wet from spills or cleaning. Wet floors should be properly marked.
Uneven Flooring: Cracked sidewalks, loose mats, or abrupt changes in floor height can cause a serious slip and fall accident.
Poor Lighting Conditions: Insufficient lighting makes it difficult to see obstacles or changes in walking surfaces. It is a big issue in stairwells.
Cluttered Walkways: Objects left in hallways or aisles—such as cables, cords, boxes, or random debris—can create a safety hazard.

An Overview of Slip and Fall Accident Liability in Canada

Slip and fall accidents are fault-based legal claims. In Canada, slip and fall accident liability is primarily governed by provincial Occupiers' Liability Acts. The law requires property owners and property occupiers (businesses) to ensure their premises are reasonably safe for visitors. If an invitee is hurt due to an unreasonably dangerous safety hazard, the defendant may be liable.
