It’s important that the proper defendant is named in your premises liability claim, especially if a lawsuit is filed. There could even be more than one defendant, depending on the facts of your case. In a slip and fall that occurred in a retail space, for example, it could be that the manager and an employee are both responsible for your injuries if they knew of the wet or slippery floor and chose to not follow the store policy and place signs or follow the other protocols. The store owner may also be liable.
