What is a slip and fall case?
A slip and fall accident is a
type of premise liability case. Premise
liability cases are cases where someone gets injured on someone else’s
property.
When do you need a slip and fall lawyer?
A slip and fall
lawyer is needed in cases that involve injury on another person’s property,
either residential or commercial, as a result of a hazardous condition left
unattended or without warning. Examples of hazardous conditions include poor
lighting, uneven flooring, loose steps, slippery floors, and sometimes other conditions
in violation of building code.
Why is it important to choose the right slip and fall lawyer?
Although in most cases, the business or residential owner has
gratuitous liability coverage for these types of incidents, slip and fall cases
are very rarely settled by means of pre-suit demand and negotiation due to the
extensive coverage necessitating litigation.
Most of these matters are litigated and even tried by a trier of fact,
like a jury, requiring the injured to go through a considerable stent of the
legal process prior to final resolution. As these matters are generally
litigated, it is important to retain a firm who has litigation and trial
experience in these matters.
Also, slip and fall cases are some of the most difficult
cases to fight because there are numerous different ways they can be defended and
it often ends up being tough to establish fault. A property owner is not always responsible for
an injury sustained on their property. Many different factors are considered
when determining fault in a slip and fall accident. For example, what was the
reason for the victim being on their property when the accident occurred? Is it
a legitimate reason? Did the victim do anything to increase the probability of
the accident occurring? Did the owner do anything to prevent the accident from
happening? If they did, was it sufficient?
In order to prove
that the property owner is responsible for the accident the slip and fall
lawyer must prove a few things. The slip and fall lawyer needs to show that the
property owner created the hazard leading to the injury sustained, neglected to
take preventative measures to stop the accident from occurring or that the
property manager should have known about the situation. It is important to choose the right slip and
fall lawyer that knows what it takes to establish legal responsibility on the
part of a property owner that’s been neglectful.
