Prove Liability for Your Injuries
Duty of Care
Property owners owe people a duty of care to take reasonable steps to prevent, repair, or warn about hazards that exist on their properties.
Breach of Duty of Care
Property owners who knew about a slip and fall hazard, or reasonably should have known it existed, and failed to remedy the issue within a reasonable amount of time, have breached their duty of care.
Defendant's Negligence Caused Your Injury
It’s not enough that you suffered a slip and fall injury on someone else’s property. The property owner’s negligence must have caused your injuries.
Injury Suffered
The existence of a dangerous condition must have caused you to suffer an economic or non-economic loss for your case to be viable.
