A slip-and-fall injury is just what the name suggests: someone slips and falls. These cases are a type of premises liability. The idea of premises liability is that a property owner is responsible for the safety of his or her property, and when someone gets hurt as a result of an unsafe condition on the property, the owner should be held liable for any damages that result. In order to win a slip-and-fall legal claim, it must be proven that the property owner or responsible party was negligible and did not fulfill their duty of care which led directly to your fall. In some cases, the property is rented which means you will have to consider whether the occupier or the property owner is responsible. Experienced local personal injury lawyers can help determine who is responsible and whether your claim is best filed against the property owner or the occupier.
