Slip & Fall Accidents

Hazardous conditions inside of a building such as a wet floor, poor lighting, or tattered carpeting can cause someone to slip and injure him or herself. Slip and fall injuries can also occur due to rain, ice, or snow falling on the ground, cracked public sidewalks, or other less visible dangers such as a pothole in the ground. While it is a normal part of life for things to fall on or drip onto a floor, it is also the responsibility of the property owner to make sure that their property does not have any unsafe conditions. If you have been injured in such a way it is important to determine liability by proving one of the following is true:

• The owner of the premises or an employee must have caused the spill, worn or torn spot, or other slippery or dangerous surface or item to be underfoot.
• The owner of the premises or an employee must have known of the dangerous surface – either actually or constructively – but done nothing about it.
