Slip And Fall And Premises Liability
If you suffer an injury on someone else’s property you may be entitled to compensation. Particularly in cases where that injury occurs at a business or in a public space, having experienced counsel on your side is important to protect you from the property owner or its insurers, or both. Premises liability cases an arise from many circumstances, including broken sidewalks, slippery floors, elevator or escalator failures, obstructions in pathways or stairs, poor lighting, unsafe swimming pool and jacuzzi conditions, and even dog bites. When this occurs, the responsible party may try to manipulate you, including by persuading you into making a recorded statement to use against you or persuading you into a low value settlement before you know the full extent of your injuries. If you or a family member has been injured in an accident and you think it might be due to negligence on the part of the property owner, you can call us to help you determine if you have a case and, if so, recover for your injuries.

How to Prove Negligence in a Slip and Fall Case?
If you slip and fall, this doesn’t necessarily mean that it is a result of negligence on someone else’s part. The plaintiff can only get compensation if they can prove their accident was a result of negligence on the part of the other party and or that they are legally responsible. The plaintiff has to be able to establish that:
- A duty of care was owed to the plaintiff by the defendant
- The duty of care was breached by the defendant
- The breach of care was the proximate cause of any injuries sustained by the plaintiff; and
- The plaintiff incurred damages as a result.
Your own negligence if any will also be taken into account during these proceedings. If you had been drinking, distracted by your cell phone, trespassing, etc you may either be found at fault for your own negligence, or could share the fault and only recover partial damages that will be proportionately lowered depending on the situation.
