What Is a Wet Floor Injury Claim?

A wet floor injury claim is a personal injury claim made when someone is injured because a floor was wet, slippery, or recently cleaned without adequate warning.

Businesses, employers, and property owners have a legal duty to keep floors safe and to warn people of hazards. When spills, cleaning, or leaks are not properly managed and an injury occurs, a compensation claim may arise.
