Slip and fall accidents can happen anywhere – at a grocery store, restaurant, office building, or even a private residence. But when is the property owner legally responsible for your injuries?
Property owners have a duty to maintain their premises in a reasonably safe condition. This includes regular inspections, prompt repairs of hazards, and adequate warning signs for potential dangers.
To hold a property owner liable, you must prove that they knew or should have known about the dangerous condition, they failed to take reasonable steps to address it, and their negligence directly caused your injury.
If you’ve been injured in a slip and fall accident, document everything and seek legal advice to understand your options for compensation.
