  • Electrical cords across the floor ways
  • Recently mopped or waxed floors
  • No handrails on stairways
  • Uneven walking surfaces

  • Cracks or potholes in sidewalks and pavement
  • Faulty electrical work
  • Store shelves or displays from falling
  • Furniture collapse
• Inadequate security: All property owners should ensure that they have adequate security measures in place to protect patrons, though security measures will vary depending on the type of establishment. This can include, but is not limited to, the following:
