How Do I Know If I Have a Slip and Fall Claim?
The key to any slip and fall case is negligence . Whether you are an invited guest , a store patron, or a resident of an apartment, you are entitled to a basic sense of safety. If the property owner, manager, or other responsible party failed in their duty to safely maintain the property and you suffered physical injury , you may have a valid claim.
The following elements are necessary to prove a slip and fall case:
- Duty of Care : The property owner or occupier (defendant) owed a duty of care to the injured party (plaintiff). This duty varies depending on the legal status of the plaintiff, such as whether they were an invitee, licensee, or trespasser.
- Breach of Duty : The defendant breached their duty of care by failing to maintain the property in a reasonably safe condition or by failing to provide adequate warnings about hazards.
- Causation : The hazardous condition was the direct cause of the plaintiff’s injuries. It must be shown that the slip and fall incident was a result of the dangerous condition and not due to the plaintiff’s own negligence.
- Damages : The plaintiff suffered actual damages as a result of the slip and fall, which may include medical expenses , lost wages , pain and suffering , and other related losses.
