Injuries that result from defective or dangerous property conditions are handled under premises liability law and are often called slip and falls. This term can hide the seriousness of injuries suffered because of torn carpet, poor lighting, wet floors, broken stair rails or damaged sidewalks. Such accidents can happen on commercial, residential or public property. If the injured person can prove that the owner knew or should have known about the defect or hazard and did nothing, the owner will be held liable for the injuries suffered and the costs associated with them.

Consult with an attorney who knows how to prove liability

This is sometimes more difficult than it sounds, and property owners are often able to escape the consequences of their negligence. It is critical to have an attorney who has the resources to investigate slip and fall accidents thoroughly and prove negligence. Then it is possible to obtain compensation for a victims injuries, medical bills and lost wages.
