Who bears liability for a slip and fall?
Individuals expect a certain level of care when entering the premises of a property, whether the property is public or private. Visitors to a property should assume that the property owner or manager of the property will ensure the area is reasonably safe for visitors. Unfortunately, not all property owners provide a high standard of care for their visitors. To determine who bears liability for a slip and fall, an attorney may conduct a careful investigation of the property.
