These are normally considered as premises liability mishap, but they are not all just slip and fall cases that lead to these types of claims. These accidents may occur in a different location including on uneven sidewalks or on floors that are freshly mopped.
Proving Negligence
In a slip and fall accident, the individual that may be held responsible for the accident if:
- The property owner or the employees caused an area to become slippery
- The property owner or the employees knew that there was an issue but didn’t do anything to remedy it.
- The property owner or the people working on that property need to be aware of the area as any other reasonable person would be aware of it but did not correct or repair it.
In many cases, the third one is normally what happens.
They knew but maybe want to act like they didn’t know in order to avoid taking responsibility for the accident. In some cases, the judge will judge if the property was even safe to begin with.
