Listed below are some common causes of slip and fall accidents in Idaho:
Stair Slip and Falls:
- Lack of handrails
- Improperly designated or labeled steps
- Awkwardly placed steps
- Steps that are hard to see
- Unmarked small steps
- Uneven stairs
- Insufficient stairway illumination
- Damaged railings
- Narrow stairwells
