Slipping, tripping, and falling can often lead to very severe and permanent injuries. However, these types of premises liability claims are often difficult to prove. Although the general belief is that a property owner is automatically liable for harm occurring on their property, these claims involve various complex legal issues. These claims may be the most difficult of all to pursue and win.

Being injured while on another person’s property does not make that person or property owner liable for your injuries. You must prove negligence, meaning that the owner failed to provide or maintain safe premises, created hazardous conditions on the property, and failed to eliminate hazards.

Since premises liability and slip and fall claims involve complicated laws and legal issues, the first and most crucial step is to contact an experienced premises liability attorney. A thorough and quick investigation must be conducted, and eyewitnesses must be contacted before altering or modifying the dangerous area. You should contact a lawyer as soon as is reasonably possible.

What Can Cause a Slip & Fall

Many hazardous conditions may contribute to a slip and fall accident, including spilled liquids; inadequate security or lighting; broken handrails on porches or stairs; collapsing floors, walls, or roofs; falling objects; uneven pavement, sidewalks or curbs; holes in parking lots; algae on sidewalks; cracked sidewalks; other hazardous property conditions that violate building codes; loose carpeting; icy walkways; construction defects; broken or uneven stairs; wet or slippery floors; swimming pool safety neglect.

Common injuries that result from a slip and fall include back injuries, fractures and broken bones, spinal injuries, bruising and soreness, cuts and abrasions, injuries that require surgery, wrist, neck, foot, or back sprains, whiplash, and soft tissue damage.

Premises liability typically refers to an injury to a person due to unsafe conditions on someone else’s property.

Negligent Security

Negligent security is often associated with poor security at establishments such as office buildings, apartment complexes, nightclubs, and other businesses that cater to customers or people who live or work on the premises; negligent security can easily lead to disastrous injury and irreparable damages. Even with the most stringent security measures, some acts of violence at stores or businesses may not be preventable; however, implementing proven security measures may discourage some attacks. Owners of public places with a history of safety problems must provide reasonable security to visitors to deter future crimes. If you were injured in an attack or assault by a third party on someone else’s land or premises, you should consult an experienced negligent security attorney as soon as possible about your available legal remedies.
