The Cause of Slip and Fall Accidents
Slip and fall accidents can occur for a number of reasons – essentially anytime that a slip hazard is present on a premises. Some of the most common examples of slip hazards that can quickly contribute to slip and fall accidents are listed below:
- Wet floors
- Recently mopped or waxed floors
- Spills (both spilled drinks and spilled food)
- Leaks (including air conditioning leaks, refrigerator leaks, plumbing leaks, etc.)
- Missing or misplaced warning signs or weather mats
- Slippery surfaces (flooring with slippery finish, for example)
These hazards are pretty common in places like stadiums, in which the property gets very crowded very quickly and things become difficult to handle (employees are also constantly moving and can’t always keep up with keeping the stadium free of slip hazards). Regardless of the specific cause of your stadium slip and fall accident, it is likely that you experienced a number of injuries.

Understanding Liability for Dodger Stadium Slip and Falls
Who is liable for the harm that unsuspecting parties suffer at Dodger Stadium? Who is liable for a Dodger Stadium slip and fall accident? Liability for slip and fall accidents is based on the concept of premise liability. Premise liability determines that property owners have a duty to keep their entire premises safe for their guests. In other words, property owners have the duty to identify and address hazards (like slip hazards) before any incident occurs. If they fail to address hazards, then they are breaching their duty of care towards their guests and creating a risk of an accident occurring. If the breached duty of care leads to an accident, then the property owner could be liable for any harm resulting from the accident. In other words, if a slip hazard leads to a slip and fall in the stadium, the stadium owner could be liable.
