Understanding exactly how the accident occurred is crucial to protecting your legal rights and seeking compensation from the at-fault party who is ultimately responsible for your fall. In Louisiana slip and fall cases, injuries are often caused by:
- Absent or insufficient lighting
- Broken or missing handrails
- Bunched up rugs and other unstable surfaces
- Cluttered walkways or debris left in aisles
- Elevation changes without warning signs
- Improperly maintained elevators or escalators
- Lack of signs or barriers around dangerous areas
- Loose floorboards or tile
- Potholes
- Slippery spills left uncleaned
- Uneven flooring
