10 Causes of an Indoor Slip and Fall

Some conditions that pose an indoor slip and fall hazard are quite obvious, such as a mopped floor that was obviously just cleaned.

Some conditions aren't so obvious and could be grounds for a slip and fall claim: 

• torn carpeting;
• foreign objects in carpeting;
• loose tile;
• loose floorboards;
• cluttered stairs;
• rugs with upturned edges;
• missing handrails;
• malfunctioning elevators or escalators;
• wet floors with no warnings or barriers; and
• spilled food or liquids.
