Slip and Fall Accidents
When an accident or injury occurs to a visitor or tenant of another person's property, the owner of the property may be liable (legally responsible) if the property owner's negligence or recklessness led to the injury. If you have been injured through a slip and fall accident at someone else's home or business which you believe was caused by the negligence or recklessness of another person, you may be able to file a lawsuit to recover the costs of your medical bills, lost earnings, pain, disfigurement, emotional distress or permanent physical disability you have suffered.
In cases involving slip-and-fall or trip-and-fall accidents, the person injured must prove that the property owners failed to maintain the property safely, created unsafe conditions, knew about the unsafe hazard but didn't alert visitors or tenants to the danger, or failed to remedy known hazards or dangers. Also important is whether or not the unsafe condition was permanent or temporary. In instances where the hazard was temporary, the length of time it existed may have bearing on your ability to prove your case.
Injuries on properties can include those from:
Slip hazards such as water, ice, grease, or oil Trip hazards such as uneven stairs, worn carpets, and dangerous thresholds
