What Can Cause a Slip and Fall?A slip and fall accident at the Boynton Beach Marathon station or any other gas station can happen for many reasons. Various fluids, such as gasoline, oil, soap, water, and others, can all cause a slip and fall accident that Boynton Beach drivers must be cautious of when at Marathon or any other gas station. It is common for fluids to be on the ground in public areas, making public accidents high risk. One can’t expect for the unexpected to occur, such as a broken gas nozzle or a spilled drink, which causes a treacherous situation that can lead to injury.
Facts About Slip and FallsA slip and fall accident can be minor or it can cause serious damage. There are numerous injuries that can occur from a slip and fall. For example:
- Slip and falls can cause fractures and/or break bones
- Slip and falls can cause long-term medical conditions and/or trauma
- Slip and falls can be fatal
- More people slip and fall at everyday places, such as a gas station or home, than anywhere else

Slip and falls are apart of a broader category of legal cases called “premise liability” claims.

If involved in a slip and fall, it is important to know that it may not be your fault - it may be due to negligence by the property owner or manager - and that there are attorneys on your side.
