Premises Liability

Slip, trip, and fall injuries most commonly occur at restaurants, supermarkets, and shopping malls.

The term “slip and fall" describes the type of injury that occurs on someone else's property, usually as a result of a defective surface, a slippery substance, or other dangerous conditions. These injuries most commonly occur at restaurants, supermarkets, and shopping malls. The fact that you become injured from a slip, trip, or fall does not necessarily mean that someone else is legally responsible for your injury. The owner or operator of a business has a legal duty to maintain the premises in a reasonably safe condition, or at least warn the public of a dangerous condition that they caused, were aware of, or should have been aware of. If these tests are not met, and you injure yourself on their property as a result of their failure to meet these conditions, you may have a valid claim against the business owner or operator. Premises liability claims encompass a variety of injuries including but not limited to:

• Injuries sustained in elevators
• Injuries sustained in stores
• Injuries sustained in building corridors
• Injuries sustained outside on private or public land
• Injuries sustained in resorts
• Injuries sustained during recreational activities
