Slip-and-fall accident claims can be very difficult to pursue. You must be able to prove that the owner of the property where you were injured was negligent of the conditions that caused you to fall. Negligence means they reasonably should have been aware of the hazard but they failed to take measures to fix it or warn you of its presence.
If you cannot show the owner’s negligence, you will not be able to receive compensation. Because of the difficult nature of premises liability cases, you should talk to an attorney about whether you have a case. The Knightshead Law Firm has experience with slip-and-falls.
