Slip and Fall
A slip and fall injury is not always the victim's fault...
Slip and fall accidents occur much more frequently than most people assume. By some estimates, millions of people each year are treated in hospitals for injuries sustained from a slip and fall incident. Most slip and fall injuries occur in the home, often due to circumstances within the injured parties' control. However, in some incidents, people suffer injuries from a slip and fall that occurs on someone else's property. If the victim of the slip and fall suffers the injury through no fault of their own, but rather through negligence of the property owners, the victim may have legal recourse.
Liable parties typically have two types of defense against slip and fall legal claims. One defense is that the property owner was acting in due diligence, and therefore not negligent. For example, if it was raining outside, one cannot expect the property owner to maintain a dry sidewalk. The other defense is that the victim did not show due diligence for his or her own safety, and is therefore liable. For example, if it was raining outside, the victim should have been more cautious knowing the sidewalk was wet.
When a property owner is aware of a potential slip and fall hazard but does nothing to remedy the problem, when someone suffers an injury due to the property owner's negligence, a slip and fall claim is warranted and valid.
