SLIP & FALL

Many people are hurt each year because property owners fail to notify the public of an unsafe condition or fail to keep their property in a safe condition.

Premises liability claims involve slip-and-fall or trip-and-fall situations. Property owners must legally provide a safe environment for people lawfully on their property.

When a property owner fails to keep his property in a safe condition, he may become liable for the victim’s physical, financial, and emotional burdens.

Premises Liability Claim

For victims to have a valid premises liability claim, the property owner must have caused, been aware of, or should have been aware of, an unsafe condition.

Valid premises liability claims usually result from:

• Ice or snow accumulation
• Inadequate lighting
• Spilled food or drink in a restaurant or store
• Torn, raised, or worn carpeting
• Obstructions, such as electrical cords
• Other causes
