There are four facts that you will need to prove in a slip and fall lawsuit: the defendant owed you a duty of care; the defendant breached his or her duty; the breach of duty caused your accident; and you suffered damages as a result.
Property owners have a duty to maintain safe premises, respond to hazards within a reasonable timeframe, and warn visitors of potential danger. You can use multiple pieces of evidence to prove a slip and fall injury claim, including the following:
Medical records
Visitor’s logs
Surveillance footage
Correspondence with the property owner
Police reports or incident reports
Witness testimony
Expert witness evaluations
