In order to win a Slip, Trip & Fall case, an injured person must prove that the building owner or its agents were negligent and that they failed to do something they should have done, or, did something that they should not have done and this negligence was a substantial factor in causing that person’s injuries. Often people will tell us that they slipped on a wet condition in a building. The law requires that we prove notice of a dangerous condition or show that the condition existed for such a long time that the building super, store owner or management should have known about it and made the area safe. In many cases the property owner can be held responsible for negligence if he or she failed to maintain the property in a safe condition. Many Slip, Trip and Fall accidents happen on property owned by a city, company or individual. These entities have a duty to ensure that their premises are safe. Dangerous conditions that can cause someone to slip, trip and fall include broken or uneven flooring; slipping on wet floors; poorly lit areas; broken, loose or missing handrails and snow and ice. Seen or unseen dangers such as disrepair, poor maintenance, debris or potholes can cause a Slip, Trip and Fall injury.
