Slip and Fall Accidents Slip and fall, also known
as a trip and fall, is a personal injury claim or
case based on a person slipping (or tripping) and
falling. It is a tort, and based on a claim that
the property owner was negligent in allowing some
dangerous condition to exist that caused the fall.

A wet floor sign is used to warn people about wet
floors and so prevent them from slipping and
falling. Businesses often place such warnings to
avoid negligence charges brought by people on
their property. In many countries, if an injury
results from a wet floor, the owner of the
premises may be found liable for compensatory
damages. Many lawyers specialize in such tort
lawsuits. Sometimes wet floor signs are not
enough. Effectiveness in modifying behavior has
been shown to be enhanced when a wet floor
warning is also presented aurally every 10
seconds by a tape player. Robotic cleaning
equipment can use wet floor signs to know when
its job is finished via sonar.
