Premises Liability / Slip and Fall

"Slip and fall" is a term for personal injuries that are caused when a person slips and falls on a floor, sidewalk, stair, or other surface.

The specific circumstances surrounding a “slip and fall” accident are important in determining who may be legally responsible for any injuries. For example, if you are an invited guest on a property, the owner or the occupier who invites you has the responsibility (a duty of care) to keep the premises safe, and to warn you if there are any dangerous conditions that might cause you harm. However, if you are on a person’s premises for a business purpose, the owner or occupier may owe you a higher duty of care. The situation is somewhat different if you are not invited onto someone else’s property and you are a trespasser. The “standard of care” that a property owner owes to a trespasser is usually less than the standard of care that is owed to a person who has permission to be on the property. Yet, there is a significant exception to this lower standard of care in the case of children.
