Understanding Property Owners' Legal Responsibilities
While people do have a general responsibility to look where they are going, there are dangerous situations that are — or ought to be — obvious to property owners but are not obvious to their guests. Common causes of slip and fall accidents include the following.
- A store employee forgot to put up a sign while mopping the floor.
- Employees were aware that a spill occurred but did not clean it up right away.
- A step or floor defect was not easily visible due to poor lighting.
Commercial property owners such as grocery stores have particularly strong responsibilities when it comes to inspecting their premises regularly. They also need to make sure their premises are safe for people who may be older or infirm.
Our attorneys have been handling slip and fall accident cases for more than 25 years and are experienced at identifying cases where property owners may be liable. If you can come to us with photos of the accident scene, or a copy of an incident report, that will be particularly helpful as we analyze your case.
