Slip and Falls
Did the employee put out the wet floor sign in the right area? Was the sidewalk out front of the office in disrepair?
P
remise liability law protects individuals who have been injured in a fall due to the negligence or willful disregard of the property owner where the incident took place. Lazy employees, careless janitorial staff, weather conditions and old structures can lead to a host of issues that may lead to personal injury. Often times business owners are unaware of conditions, but it doesn't remove them from liability.
There are several categories of falls that are eligible for compensation from the property owner, including but not limited to:
· Slip & fall - insufficient warning of a slippery or wet walking surface
· Trip & fall - an object blocked the way with no safety barrier or warning of its presence
· Step & fall - a hole or other uneven aspect to the area, causing you to lose your balance
· Stump & fall - a protrusion causes you to stop short and fall
