Slips, Trips, and Falls

Slips, trips, and falls are a function of environmental factors such as walkway design, contaminants, conspicuity, lighting, maintenance issues, and footwear. We frequently investigate matters involving parking lots, stairs, handrails, guardrails, doors, accessibility, lighting, floor mats, and more. One important source of information that is sometimes overlooked when investigating slips, trips, and falls is surveillance footage. It is important to check the incident area for surveillance footage immediately following a slip and fall.
