Who Is Responsible If I Fell On A Rental Property? This is an excellent question and the answer depends on the rental agreement between the property owner and tenant. For example, if your injuries were caused by snow and ice that wasn’t removed in a timely manner and the property owner is responsible for the snow removal, then your legal claim would be filed against the property owner and not the tenant. Our legal team will do the research needed to determine exactly who was at fault for your slip and fall accident. Can I File A Lawsuit If I Fell On Government Property? Yes, if you slipped and fell on government property you have the right to pursue legal action. However, keep in mind that it’s important to work with a law firm that has the experience and resources needed to take on a government agency. In addition to this, slip and fall accident lawsuits involving a government agency are more complicated because there are laws that may limit when and how the claims can be made.
