Holiday Hazards: Slip-and-Fall Accidents
‘Tis the season for holiday shopping and events. The festivities come with merriment and making spirits bright, but they also increase the risk of slip-and-fall as well as trip-and-fall accidents.
Spills, cluttered aisles, store displays, ornaments and decorations, poor lighting, recently mopped floors, uneven flooring, and loose carpeting or tiles can quickly cause serious injuries. Premises liability accidents frequently occur during the holidays in:
Malls and retail stores
Restaurants
Airports
Hotels
Parking lots, sidewalks, and walkways
Premises liability refers to the legal responsibility of property owners to maintain a safe environment for visitors. This responsibility extends to both residential and commercial properties.
In Florida, business owners must maintain reasonably safe conditions, conduct regular inspections, correct dangers, and warn of hazards they knew or should have known about. When they fail to do so and they had actual or constructive knowledge of a dangerous condition, they can be held legally responsible.
