Some of the most common causes for slip-and-fall accidents:

1) a substance on the floor that the store owner knew about or should have known about. Many times, a leaking freezer leaks water on the floor that consumers don’t see.

2) rugs that are bunched up either in doorways or throughout the store. Those bunched up rugs cause tripping hazards.

3) cases where the employees in the store run over customers with shopping buggies or freight carts that are used for loading and unloading groceries.

So, those are some of the common causes.
