Hand Sanitizers and Slip and Fall Accidents

Could hand sanitizers really contribute to slip and fall accidents? Any liquid on the floor could create a slip hazard, which could contribute to slip and fall accidents. Hand sanitizer stations, which are common near entrances, common areas, and cash registers, are available to everyone. How can hand sanitizers contribute to slip and fall accidents? Consider some of the following causes listed below:

• User error: whether the hand sanitizer dispenses automatically or must be manually dispensed, it is likely that individuals misplace their hands under the dispenser. Because of this, the hand sanitizer could simply fall onto the floor as it is dispensed.
• Defective product: both hand sanitizers and the stations/dispensers designed to facilitate the use of the hand sanitizers can be defective. In some cases, the product defect can cause leaks or other issues that could ultimately end with hand sanitizer getting on the floor.
• Incorrect installation: many property owners simply fail to install the dispensers correctly. This is because most people have purchased dispensers online. When the product arrives, they rush to install it and often disregard important steps. This could result in hand sanitizer getting onto the floor.

Regardless of the specific cause of hand sanitizer slip and fall accidents, it is important to understand that they could have been prevented – if the property owner would have inspected the property and addressed the risk presented by the hand sanitizer on the floor.

Understanding Liability in Slip and Fall

Liability in slip and fall accidents is usually based on the concept of premise liability. In other words, property owners owe their guests a specific duty of care – they have the duty to ensure that their premise is completely safe for guests. They must constantly inspect their premises to be able to quickly identify and address any hazards prior to any incidents that harm guests. When property owners fail to ensure that their premises are safe, they negligently put their consumers at risk of suffering incidents, which could lead to harm. Based on the concept of premise liability, injured guests could hold property owners accountable for the harm suffered. This means that you could file a slip and fall claim for the incident that you suffered due to hand sanitizer on the floor of a store, office, or any other location. If you would like to learn more about premise liability and your right to sue, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with the experts at our firm as soon as possible.

How Long Do You Have to Sue?

Did you know that you could lose the right to sue if you fail to take action within the appropriate length of time? This is because claims are subject to a statute of limitations.
