Slip and Fall

Madison Slip and Fall Attorneys

Every year, thousands of people are injured in slip and fall accidents. Although some are minor, these injuries have the potential to send the victim to the hospital and cause them to spend a great deal of time recovering. When filing a lawsuit over a slip and fall injury, several things must be proven in order for the victim to receive compensation from the property owner for their injuries:

• The property owner was responsible for unsafe condition and the subsequent slip and fall accident (e.g. by spilling something and not cleaning it up).
• The property owner was aware of the condition of the property but did not try to correct it (by not posting a warning sign, etc).
• The property owner knew or should have known about the danger, since a "reasonable" person would have found the problem and taken steps to prevent injuries caused by the slip and fall accident.

These are general guidelines for proving liability of the property owner. There are several exceptions to these guidelines and consulting an experienced premises liability lawyer is the best way to ensure that your specific situation will qualify as a valid lawsuit.
