What to Do If You Slip and Fall in a Public Place？

Slip and fall accidents frequently occur in public places and are mainly caused by environmental or physical conditions. Common causes include slippery floors due to cleaning, rain, or leaks, as well as oil spills in restaurants and parking lots. Uneven surfaces are also common, such as potholes on sidewalks or lifted floor tiles. Additionally, poorly lit underground parking garages and hallways, scattered cables and debris on the floor, and icy or snowy outdoor areas can all lead to pedestrian slips and falls.
