What is a slip and fall accident?

A slip and fall accident does not only refer to the classic scenario of slipping on a wet floor. Businesses, such as Walmart, have a responsibility to provide a safe place of business. As part of this responsibility, store operators must post warnings and promptly remove hazards that may adversely impact the health and safety of their patrons. Commonly, a slip and fall accident might occur on a freshly mopped floor that hasn’t been roped off or labeled. Spilled food or other merchandise left in customers’ pathways may also result in injury.
