Most common causes of slip and fall accidents:

Reviewing the most common causes of these types of accidents shows how easily they can be prevented.

  • Wet and uneven surfaces. These are the two most common causes of slip and fall accidents, accounting for about 55% of all accidents.
  • Weather conditions. Weather conditions are a less predictable cause of slip and fall accidents. It is the owners’ responsibility to keep their property in good repair, including sidewalks, driveways, stairways, and walkways. They should be kept clean and free of debris, water, ice, and slippery leaves.
  • Nursing home neglect. As sad as it is to imagine, slip and fall accidents can be the result of nursing home negligence. Older people often require help walking, standing, or bathing. When they don’t receive this help, they are susceptible to slips, trips, and falls. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), one in three adults over the age of 65 falls each year.
