FAQ

What Is Considered Negligence in a Slip and Fall Case?

Negligence in a slip and fall case often involves failing to maintain safe premises, promptly address hazards, or provide adequate warnings. Proving negligence is crucial for a successful claim, and that's one of the things our attorney can help you navigate.

Do I Have a Case if the Other Party Set Up a Warning About the Dangerous Condition?

Even with a warning, you may still have a case if the property owner's negligence contributed to the dangerous condition. That's because a warning itself isn't enough to show that the other party did all they could to protect you from the dangerous condition.

I Slipped and Fell at a Grocery Store. Can I File a Claim?

Yes, you can file a claim against the grocery store owner or any other liable party, but only if negligence on their part, such as failure to clean up spills promptly, contributed to your slip and fall. We've covered everything you need to know about slip and fall accidents at a grocery store here.

What Are Legal Grounds To Sue for a Slip and Fall?

Legal grounds for a slip and fall lawsuit include proving that the property owner knew or should have known about a hazardous condition, failed to address it, and that this negligence led to your injuries. Finally, you'll also need to prove that you suffered damages due to the injuries sustained.

What Are Examples of Dangerous Conditions the Property Owner Should Have Known About?

In such cases, wet floors, uneven surfaces, poorly maintained walkways, and inadequate lighting could count as dangerous conditions the other party should have known about. Property owners are expected to be aware of and address these conditions promptly. If they fail to do so and you get injured as a result of the hazard, you may take legal action against them.

Can I Sue for a Slip and Fall That Happened at a Parking Lot?

Yes, it doesn't really matter where the accident happened as long as it was due to someone else's negligence. For instance, you can sue for a slip and fall that occurred in a parking lot if negligence, such as failure to remove ice or address other hazards, contributed to the incident.
