Causes of Florida Slip and Fall Accidents

Florida slip and fall accidents, or trip and fall accidents, are one of the most common and dangerous types of accidents. More than one million people are injured in these accidents each year in the United States, while more than 17,000 are killed.

There are two main types of Florida slip and fall accidents that can happen to anyone at nearly anytime:
  • Same level falls
  • Elevation falls

Both types of Florida trip and fall accidents can be very dangerous for those involved. They can lead to broken bones (like a pelvis), sprains or dislocations, back or neck injuries or in some cases, fatal head injuries.

There are many possible causes of Florida trip and fall accidents. These include, but are not limited to:
  • Poor lighting
  • Cracked or uneven walkways
  • Slippery or wet surfaces
  • Loose rugs or carpeting
  • Loose or no railings

If you or a loved one has been injured in an accident that was caused by negligent business or property owners, it is unfair that you are forced to pay for the increasing pile of medical bills and associated costs.
