Slip and fall accidents can be caused by a number of different reasons. One of the most common reasons is that the person slips on a wet or icy surface. Other causes of slip and fall accidents are tripping over something, or running into an object.
The most common place for people to slip and fall is in their own home, followed by restaurants, grocery stores, and offices.
A study found that there are over 1 million slip and falls every year in the United States alone. This makes up about 10% of all injuries related to falls in America.
