What to Know About Slip and Fall Injuries
Premises liability laws establish different categories of visitors, including invitees, licensees, and trespassers. If you are invited onto someone’s premises for the economic benefit of the property owner, the property owner owes you the highest duty under the law. If you get injured in a slip and fall and can prove the property owner breached that duty
, you can be compensated for resulting losses. Licensees are owed an intermediate duty of care and trespassers are owed the least duty, but property owners still have some responsibilities. Examples of situations where a property owner’s breach of duty may be considered the cause of a fall can include when debris is left in walkways or when there are stair railings that are broken. A slip and fall attorney can help you get maintenance records and take eyewitness testimony. All of these things are essential to determine if a duty was breached.
