Pursuing information and personal progress is paramount in educational institutions’ crowded hallways and classrooms. Despite the important goals being pursued in these institutions, schools are prone to the same risks as any other large facility, including slip and fall accidents. Such events, frequently overlooked, can have far-reaching consequences for the well-being of those in the school community.

Understanding Slip and Fall Accidents

Slip and fall accidents occur when someone accidentally slips or trips and falls, sustaining injuries. The fact that a slip and fall catastrophe could happen anywhere, at any moment, is a terrifying prospect. Victims of slip-and-falls could sustain life-threatening injuries with outcomes similar to traumatic brain injuries (TBI), spinal cord damage, broken hips, and even death.
