Determining Liability in Slip & Fall Accidents

A slip and fall accident can occur in a wide variety of locations, including grocery stores, restaurants, office buildings, hotels, and other public places. Regardless of where the accident occurs, the property owner is almost always liable for the injuries and damages caused by the slip and fall.

In most cases, property owners are responsible for keeping their premises reasonably safe for visitors and guests. If a dangerous condition is present on the property, but no one is aware of it, the property owner can still be liable for the injuries caused by the condition. The property owner is also liable if they intentionally put a dangerous condition on the premises, knowing that it could cause someone to slip and fall.
