Common Causes of Slip & Fall Accidents

Slip and fall accidents can result from a dangerous condition that someone failed to take care of, like a wet floor that wasn't clearly marked, or a loose rug that should have been nailed down. A slip and fall accident can easily lead to head injuries, brain trauma, broken bones, back and spinal cord damage, serious sprains, painful bruising, and even death.

Examples of common slip and fall hazards in the Detroit area include:
