Proving Blame For Your Slip And Fall Accident
Proving Blame For Your Slip And Fall Accident
About one million emergency room visits each year in the U.S. stem from slip and falls. You may slip and fall and suffer injuries while shopping in a grocery store, big-box store, or department store. These falls also happen in hotels, apartment complexes, and many other locations. If another party was to blame for your accident, they should also be liable for covering your losses.
Slip and fall cases are all unique, and you need to make sure that you receive the compensation you deserve for your specific injuries. Hiring a personal injury attorney will help you gather the evidence you need to substantiate your claims and demand the financial compensation you need to cover your losses.

When Is The Business To Blame For My Injuries?
Companies must make sure that business invitees are safe from dangerous conditions, and a business may be liable for a slip and fall if management or staff allowed certain slip and fall hazards to exist. Perhaps they failed to address a slippery floor or did not clean up spilled items. They also may not properly place a sign on the floor to warn patrons that dangerous conditions exist and to use caution. All of these failures can constitute negligence and lead to liability for slip and fall injuries.
Proving Liability
The relationship between a property owner and the injured person determines whether the property owner owed the injured victim a duty of care. If the injured victim was not trespassing, then he or she is owed a duty of care while on the property.
Property and business owners usually must make a good faith attempt to fix any dangerous conditions on the premises. An injured victim often has to prove that a property owner possessed knowledge of dangerous conditions and did nothing to remedy the conditions.
Slip and fall cases all involve different factors that make each one unique, and you want an experienced lawyer to assess your situation and advise how your case might resolve. Proving fault can be more difficult than you’d imagine, so you want the right legal representation following a slip and fall.
