Do I have a slip and fall case?

Sometimes we slip and fall due to our own clumsiness, a complete accident or because we simply were not watching where we were going. Sometimes, however, we slip and fall because of a property owner’s negligence. In these instances, there may be a case against that propery owner where you can collect damages for your injuries, pain and suffering.

How do you know if you have a case?

In most cases, a slip and fall is a property owner’s fault in one of these circumstances:

• The property owner knew about a dangerous condition and did nothing about it. This might be a leak that has caused a puddle that has been there for over a week; a broken tile that has already caused another accident or a damaged handrail that been reported or remained unfixed for several weeks.
• The property owner or employee caused a hazardous situation. An example of this would be a waiter dropping a tray full of drinks right in front of you or a sales person carrying too many things and banging into you.
• The property owner should have known about a dangerous condition. If the center of the store has a damaged tile in plain sight or an escalator has not been properly serviced in years and is now broken the store could be at fault.
