Each slip, trip, or fall case posess unique challenges. Serious injuries can arise from all types of property/business owner accidents. You need to know that an injury stemming from a slip, trip, or fall basically has two parts - liability and damages.
  1. Damages are the result of the bodily injury to the person who is hurt, such as a broken bone and the lost wages and medical expenses associated with any orthopedic surgery and permanent disability.
  2. The liability side of the bodily injury case is showing that the defendant/property owner was at fault in causing the plaintiff's injury and that the plaintiff was free from fault.
Property owner accidents (such as hotels, restaurants, business premises) range from accidents caused by dangerous, hidden conditions to those caused by something that an employee caused. Often, the defendant (i.e. property owner), even if liable, will argue that the injured person contributed to causing their own injury.


General tips to help your case


In the era of cell phone cameras, you should take pictures at the scene, or go and get the pictures of the condition if it still exists. Always complete an injury/incident report with a business or store if you ever have a slip, trip or fall caused by a condition at a business premises.

Proving that there was actually something that caused your fall is only the first step. We also need to have evidence of:
  • What it was
  • How it got there
  • How long it was there

The law applying to slip and trip cases usually requires that the business be "on notice" that there was a problem to correct-so, a condition that was on the floor for 5 minutes is often not a reasonable opportunity for a business as opposed to a longer timeframe, as just one example.

The best evidence in this situation is a party admission by some employee of the business establishment that the condition had been there for sufficient time for them to do something about it.

As you can see, these cases require numerous steps and in-depth investigation/research. That's where we come in. You need to call us right away so we can discuss your case and get to work.
