Slip and Fall Accidents / Trip and Fall Accidents

A common source of injury in an accident involves a slip and fall or a trip and fall as a result of someone’s negligence. This area is also called premises liability. To recover in such a case, in most cases, you must show that the person who owned or controlled the property knew or should have known that a dangerous condition existed on its property which caused the injury. An example is the classic banana peel on the floor in the supermarket. If the supermarket owner was not told of the banana peel on the floor he can still be responsible for the banana peel for it appears that the banana peel had been there for a sufficient length of time. Maybe the banana peel is brown and covered with marks and the wheel of a cart. That might be enough to show that the supermarket should have known that the banana peel was there. A jury would have to decide.

Every premises liability case is different. In many cases, an expert is required to determine whether the defendant you claim caused the accident was negligent. The selection of that expert requires experience in premises liability.
