A negligence slip and fall settlement is a type of personal injury lawsuit where someone sues another party because of injuries sustained due to the defendant’s negligent actions. Negligence slip and fall cases are typically filed against businesses that fail to maintain safe premises. These types of lawsuits often involve people slipping and falling while walking on floors, stairs, sidewalks, etc., and sustaining serious injuries.
The plaintiff must prove three things in order to win a negligence slip and fall case:
The defendant owed you a duty of care;
The defendant breached his/her duty of care; and
Your damages resulted from the breach of duty.
