Proving Negligence in a Slip-and-Fall Claim

As with all personal injury claims, the most important aspect of your slip and fall accident is negligence. Negligence means that someone else’s carelessness led to your injuries. Property owners are expected to act “reasonably” in regards to their property and if they didn’t, it can give you the grounds to file a claim.

Proving at least one of the following factors is necessary to establish negligence:

• The property owner or an employee caused the spill or dangerous item to be underfoot
• The property owner or an employee knew about the dangerous surface but did not fix it
• The property owner or an employee should have known about the dangerous surface because a “reasonable” person would have eliminated the problem

Demonstrating that you were acting carefully at the time of the accident can bolster your claim and increase your chances of compensation. With an attorney on your side, you can lean on their expertise throughout the entirety of your case.
