SLIP AND FALL INJURY
|
Slip and fall injury may occur when someone slips, trips, or falls usually because an area is unexpectedly wet or uneven. You may hold the property owner liable if the slip and fall injury was preventable and was caused due to negligence or unsafe conditions. One misstep on a slippery floor or broken step can land the victim in a wheelchair, while a stumble over a manhole cover can cause a broken leg or even a permanent spinal cord injury.
Generally, employers are supposed to provide safe working conditions. Failure to provide a safe working environment can cause employees to have slip and fall injuries, some of which could put the employees on a long-term disability. But whether the employers or the property owners are liable to your slip and fall injuries depends on whether the property owners:
- caused the unsafe condition and the subsequent slip and fall accident;
- knew about the condition but did not try to correct it; or
- should have known about the danger, because a "reasonable" person would have found the problem and taken steps to prevent injuries caused by the slip and fall accident.
However, you must still think about whether your own carelessness contributed in any significant way to your accident.
It is also notable that the liability of the property owner differs to the status of the person who is in his/her premises. That is, the owner or possessor owes a different duty to a trespasser than he does to his guest. There are many other peculiar rules involved in slip and fall injury liabilities.
