How to Determine Fault in Slip & Fall Incidents
Property owners, landlords, managers, and employees are obligated to provide a duty of care to their visitors, customers, guests, and tenants at all times. If they fail to address issues on their property—such as a wet surface or a defective stairway—and these issues result in an injury, they may be held liable for a premises liability lawsuit.
To prove liability for your injury, you must demonstrate one or more of the following:
- The owner or possessor created the condition or
- The owner or possessor knew the condition existed and negligently failed to fix it or
- The dangerous condition could not reasonably be expected to have been discovered or known by you or was otherwise no reasonably avoidable or
- The condition existed for such a length of time that the owner or possessor should have found and fixed it before the slip and fall accident in question occurred
In other words, for a property owner to be held accountable, it must have been foreseeable that his or her negligence created the hazard in question.
