Maintenance to avoid trip and fall or slip and fall accidents is about more than just making a building, house, hotel, office, movie theater, shopping mall, restaurant, grocery store or any other building or space comfortable and visually appealing to tenants, visitors, customers or guests when they visit. It is about ensuring their safety as they move throughout the property. A property owner must fix broken sidewalks, stairs, walkways, to make sure that they are not cracked, broken, or otherwise defective. These pedestrian walkways must be free from wet or slippery substances, which must be immediately cleaned or adequately marked. Included in these areas to be maintained by the establishment’s owners are the hallways and walkways which must remain clear and parking lots which must be well-lit, secure, and properly maintained. When a walking area on a property is not maintained in a safe condition, the property owner is responsible for the injuries sustained as a result of the slip and fall, perhaps from a slippery substance, or trip and fall accident from a broken or missing brick in the walkway.
