Slip and fall injuries occur on someone else’s property due to unsafe conditions.  Common causes of slip and fall injuries include broken stairs or elevators, uneven surfaces, wet floors, uncovered cables, poorly maintained walkways, missing handrails, and unmarked dangerous conditions. These accidents fall under premises liability laws, which hold property owners, leaseholders, or occupants responsible for maintaining safe conditions. 

In California, property owners have a duty of care to protect visitors by maintaining reasonably safe premises. They can be held liable for unsafe condition but failed to correct it, if it is “reasonably foresee” meaning whether a reasonable person would have anticipated the accident under the circumstances.
