Premises Liability
Slip, trip or fall injury cases fall under premises liability law, a type of law that holds property owners responsible for injuries that occur on their property. For a premises liability case to be successful, you must be able to prove:
- The condition of the property was dangerous.
- The owner knew, or should have known, about the dangerous condition.
- The owner had a reasonable opportunity to correct or warn of the condition, which was not reasonably open and obvious to the injured party at the time of the accident.
What are the Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents?
Some of the most common causes of slip and fall injuries include:
- Wet surfaces
- Unmarked hazards
- Icy or slippery conditions
- Poorly lit public spaces
- Parking lot potholes
- Torn carpeting
- Uneven floors
- Neglect
