Slip and Fall

Premises liability is a legal concept that holds property owners and occupiers responsible for maintaining a safe environment for people who visit or use their property. If someone is injured on the property due to a dangerous condition, the injured person may have grounds to file a premises liability lawsuit against the owner or occupier of the property.

To win a premises liability lawsuit, the injured person must prove that the property owner or occupier was negligent in their duty to maintain a safe environment,

and that this negligence directly caused the person's injuries. This typically involves demonstrating that the property owner knew or should have known about the dangerous condition but failed to take reasonable steps to fix it or warn visitors about it.

Examples of dangerous conditions that could lead to a premises liability lawsuit include slippery floors, uneven walkways, inadequate lighting, defective staircases, and falling objects. If you are injured on someone else's property, it's important to seek medical attention and document the details of the incident, including any witnesses and the condition of the property at the time of the accident. You may also want to consult with an experienced premises liability attorney to determine if you have a viable claim for compensation.
