Slip And Fall Statistics Show Elderly Most Vulnerable

Slip and fall accidents or trip and fall accidents can occur at countless locations, including retail stores, restrooms, office buildings, banks, malls, construction sites, nursing homes, parking lots, casinos and grocery stores.

Building codes and safety standards are established in order to protect the public in those spaces. If any of the above areas are particularly dangerous, they should be equipped with proper warning signs or closed to public traffic altogether. In addition, all walkways and floors should be safe and free from slipping and tripping hazards. When safety standards are not upheld, visitors, workers, or guests are in danger. The elderly are especially prone to falls, and trip hazards pose an even higher danger for this population. This is why businesses should be held accountable to the safety of their premises.

The elderly are especially prone to falls. Every year in the United States, one in three people over 65 will experience a fall, and more than 15,000 people aged 65 or older died as a result of a fall in one recent year.
