Slip and Fall Hazards
Anyone charged with managing a particular piece of property must properly maintain that space so that it does not present a danger to visitors. This includes removing or handling whatever hazards may arise that could lead to the injury of others. The following problems may cause injuries to visitors or tenants if a property owner does not deal with them promptly and properly:
- Oil, grease, water, and other liquid slicks
- Patches of ice
- Broken sidewalks and asphalt
- Stairs or changes in elevation that lack handrails
- Stair or escalator damages
- Property drop-offs
In a situation where a potential hazard has been recognized by a property owner, he or she should clearly mark off that possible problem area and quickly work to fix it. Failure to do so may leave them liable for certain injuries caused by these hazards.
