Yes and no. What lawyers refer to as slip and fall cases constitute one type of premises liability claim. A slip and fall consists of any incident in which someone falls and gets hurt on property they do not own. Wisconsin premises liability law dictates the rights of individuals who suffer harm in slip and fall incidents.
Slip and falls constitute just one type of premises liability incident, however. The law of premises liability also governs a wide range of other mishaps and tragedies that can occur on property the victim does not own, such as drownings and near-drownings in backyard swimming pools, some types of domestic animal attacks, and building fires.
