Liability for Slip and Fall Accidents
To be legally responsible for the injuries you suffered from slipping or tripping and falling on someone else's property, one of the following must be true:
* The owner of the premises or an employee caused the spill, worn or torn spot, or other slippery or dangerous surface or item, to be underfoot.
* The owner of the premises or an employee knew of the dangerous surface but did nothing about it.
* The owner of the premises or an employee should have known of the dangerous surface because a "reasonable" person taking care of the property would have discovered and removed or repaired it.
In addition, in almost every slip or trip and fall case, the insurance company or court will consider whether your carelessness contributed to the accident. The rules of "comparative negligence" help measure your own carelessness or reasonableness in going where you did, in the way you did, just before the accident happened.
