Responsibility for a slip and fall or trip and fall depends on the specific circumstances. A property owner isn’t automatically responsible just because the accident happened on their property–they must have failed in their responsibility to the injured person. Some falls also happen in part because the injured person wasn’t paying attention. When that’s the case, the amount of compensation available may be reduced.
The best source of information about who may be responsible for your slip and fall injury is to talk to an experienced slip and fall attorney as soon as possible.
