The cold winters in Philly bring a lot of snow and icy conditions that can cause stairs and entryways to be hazardous. Philadelphia property owners and businesses have a responsibility to ensure safe surroundings for people on their property. If the property owner fails to do so and you are injured as a result, they may be held responsible for your injuries.
Businesses that have ceramic/tile, wood or laminate floors that become wet from spills are a common cause of slip and fall accidents. All city businesses must have signs posted in conspicuous locations when a wet or slippery floor is present.
In Philadelphia, slip, trip and fall accidents are the leading cause of injuries in hotels, public buildings and restaurants. Another common cause are the city’s uneven, unfixed and cracked sidewalks. The city may be liable. Such hazards could possible prove fatal.
