DO I NEED AN ANTI-SLIP FORMULA ON MY
FLOOR?
Slip/fall accidents are a major
problem. The statistics are substantial.
After auto accidents, SLIP/FALL ACCIDENTS ARE THE LEADING CAUSE OF
INSURANCE LIABILITY PAYMENTS. In addition, slip/fall accidents, paid for
by workers' compensation claims, have greatly increased over the last 10
years.
"As a general rule of law, if an owner or possessor of a premises
is aware
of a dangerous condition, which could foresee ably harm an invitee and
if he has been put on notice that there is a means to prevent such harm,
then it could be inferred that should an accident result in an invitee
being harmed, the possessor, owner of the property, would be charged
with having the knowledge to correct the defective or accident-causing
condition. As a result, the owner may be held to a higher standard of
care and his probabilities of being held liable, and for damage against
him are likely to be greater."
This partial description of negligence is an excerpt from a letter from
our
corporate attorneys explaining in simple language, if the owner or
processor of a building has a dangerous situation (i.e., a floor that is
slippery when wet) and is aware that there is a product available at a
reasonable cost that can deter that accident-causing condition and he
fails to use it, he has a greater chance of being held liable.
