Common Causes & Hazards of Slip & Fall Incidents
Slip and fall accidents may arise due to various hazards, some of which are particularly prevalent in Hartford due to local weather conditions and regulations. Identifying these hazards is critical in determining liability and securing compensation:
- Wet & Icy Surfaces: Hartford's severe winters lead to icy sidewalks and wet floors, increasing the risk of slips and falls.
- Poor Lighting: Inadequate lighting in public spaces and stairwells can hide potential hazards, leading to tripping accidents.
- Uneven Surfaces: Cracked sidewalks and uneven flooring are particularly dangerous in older buildings often found in Hartford's historic districts.
In addition, the failure of local authorities and private property owners to maintain these public spaces can heighten risks. Regular inspections and prompt repairs significantly reduce the occurrence of falls. At RisCassi & Davis, P.C., we provide clients with insights into identifying these risks, helping document accident circumstances that are crucial in the legal claim process.
