Slip and fall is a term for a personal injury case where someone sustains an injury because of a dangerous or hazardous condition on someone else’s property. Slip and fall accidents are a type of “premises liability” case. Premises liability cases do not just involve slipping and falling they also include drowning and being struck by a falling object.
Whether its residential, commercial, or public property, owners have a legal obligation to keep the property in reasonably safe condition for guests, customers, and those who are legally on the property. When you lawfully enter upon someone else’s property, you have an expectation that it is safe or that you will be warned if there is a hidden danger that could cause you harm. If property owners do not live up to that reasonable expectation, they can be held liable for your injuries.
The biggest challenge in a premises liability case is finding evidence that proves the property owner either created the dangerous condition or knew or should have known about the dangerous condition, but failed to repair it or warn you of the danger. Finding this evidence requires a law firm who knows what to look for, how to find the evidence, and is willing to put in the time and effort into proving what the property owners knew or should have known.
