Proving Liability In A Slip-And-Fall Case

For a property owner or manager to be held liable for your injuries, one of the following must be proven:

• The property owner or an employee should have been aware of the dangerous surface and taken care of the property or put up visible signage to alert others of the danger.
• The property owner or an employee must have been aware of the dangerous surface and did nothing to fix it.
• The property owner or an employee caused the damage or spill, creating a dangerous condition.

Common Causes Of Slip-And-Fall Accidents

It is estimated that a million individuals visit the emergency room every year due to injuries sustained in slip and fall accidents. Many of these accidents can be prevented if property owners exercised reasonable care in maintaining their land, but many often fail to do so. Here are some of the most common causes of slip and fall accidents:

• Recently waxed or mopped floors
• Unaddressed spills
• Loose floorboards, mats, or rugs
• Debris on the floor
• Exposed cords that run across high-traffic areas
• Inadequate lighting
• No handrails
• Open desk drawers

Additionally, wearing improper footwear, running, and not watching where you are walking can also lead to slip and fall accidents, so be sure to always exercise reasonable caution to prevent these incidents from occurring. Some of the injuries sustained in slip and fall accidents are incredibly severe, including head injuries, spinal cord injuries, hip fractures, shoulder injuries, and sprains. After being involved in a slip and fall accident, begin the paper trail of evidence by seeing a doctor as soon as possible. Doing so will help set a solid foundation for your claim, so you can be appropriately compensated for your suffering.
