Common Causes of Slip-and-Fall Accidents
Slip-and-fall accidents are often preventable and occur due to unsafe conditions or negligence. Common causes include:
- Wet or Slippery Floors: Spills, leaks, or recently mopped surfaces without warning signs.
- Uneven Surfaces: Cracked pavement, loose floorboards, or uneven carpeting.
- Poor Lighting: Insufficient lighting in stairwells, walkways, or parking lots.
- Obstructions: Clutter, debris, or cables left in walkways.
- Icy or Snowy Conditions: Failure to clear ice or snow from sidewalks or entrances.
- Broken Stairs or Railings: Neglected maintenance of stairways or handrails.
If your accident was caused by these or other unsafe conditions, we will help you hold the property owner accountable.

Determining Liability in Slip-and-Fall Cases
Property owners have a legal duty to maintain their premises and ensure the safety of visitors. To establish liability in a slip-and-fall case, you must prove:
- The Hazard Existed: There was a dangerous condition on the property.
- The Property Owner Knew or Should Have Known: The owner was aware or should have been aware of the hazard.
- Failure to Address the Hazard: The owner did not fix the hazard or provide proper warnings.
At Yagoubzadeh Law Firm LLP, we will thoroughly investigate your case to gather evidence, such as surveillance footage, maintenance records, and witness statements, to build a strong claim.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
Victims of slip-and-fall accidents may be entitled to recover damages, including:

- Lost Wages: Compensation for time missed at work or diminished earning capacity.
- Pain and Suffering: Damages for physical pain, emotional trauma, and distress.
- Disability Benefits: Support for permanent or temporary impairments caused by the accident.
- Property Damage: Reimbursement for personal items damaged during the fall.
