Slip and falls often happen in stores like Walmart, where people are invited as customers to do business, but staff fails to maintain the premises. They also happen in movie theaters, sports stadiums, shopping malls, colleges, and other institutions. When you slip and fall outside of the home in a public place that is under the maintenance or ownership of an organization, you are entitled to compensation if you suffer injuries due to their negligence. For example, if you slip and fall at home because you left a skateboard in the middle of the living room, no one else’s insurance will cover your damages. On the other hand, if you are out shopping at Village Center Mall for a new pair of sneakers, and you slip on a large spill that wasn’t marked with hazard signs, you will be entitled to compensation for all damages associated with your injury.
