Slip and Fall

A slip and fall accident occurs when individuals trip due to hazards on premises, such as wet floors or broken stairs, for which the property owner may be liable.

To pursue a case, emphasis lies on demonstrating either the owner’s knowledge of the hazard and negligence to address it, or the expectation that they should have known about it, discrediting claims of ignorance.

Identifying responsibility post-accident can be challenging, particularly on public or semi-public properties.

Private property often pins liability on the owner, whereas public spaces require further investigation. Once liable parties are identified, assessing insurance coverage or seeking compensation directly becomes crucial, facilitated by expert legal guidance.
