Why do Slip and Fall Accident Occur?
Many factors contribute to slip and fall accident conditions. Some causes include:
- Uneven, broken sidewalks
- Poorly lit walking areas, such as a dark parking lot
- Slippery or wet floors
- Snow or ice that has not been removed after it has stopped accumulating
- Design flaws on the property
- A hidden defect on the walking service, like a broken stair
Any of the above conditions can lead to a serious accident. It is the owner’s responsibility to keep his property clear of these dangers.
As the injured victim, you must prove liability in order to receive compensation for your injuries. That is why it is vital that you have an experienced slip and fall attorney on your side.
Proving Liability in a Slip and Fall Accident
If you have slipped and fallen at a place of business or another person’s property, it’s important that you understand your legal rights. Proprietors, business owners, landlords, and homeowners have a duty to keep their property free from serious hazards. If they fail to do so, and someone gets hurt as a result, they may be held responsible.
When you hire Munley Law Personal Injury Attorneys, our team of lawyers will investigate your case thoroughly to determine who was at fault for your accident. We will examine such factors as:
- Could the property owner have prevented the slip and fall accident?
- What were the conditions of the property before the accident?
- Was the property owner aware of the conditions that lead to the accident?
- Did the proprietor make any effort to warn patrons/visitors of the hazard?
- Was the property owner the cause of the dangerous condition (such as spilling water on the floor, making it slippery)?
Do Most Slip and Fall Cases Settle Out of Court?
If you have been in a slip and fall accident, you want to be sure that you receive fair and proper compensation for your injuries. However, no one wants their case to go to court. So many of our clients ask if most slip and fall cases settle out of court.
The good news is that the vast majority of slip and fall cases do settle out of court, meaning an agreement is reached between parties outside of the courtroom and there is no need for a trial.
