- Damage to the knee
- Shoulder dislocation
- Nerve or spinal damage

Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents
Slip and fall accidents can happen anywhere, at any time. It is common to experience a slip and fall accident at a business, but you may be surprised to learn many take place at home as well. Slip and falls can happen indoors and outdoors, depending on the conditions present. Some of the most common causes of slip and fall accidents are because of:
- Damaged driveways, walkways, sidewalks, stairwells
- Inadequate lighting, security, and maintenance
