About Slip & Fall Cases
Falls are one of the most common injuries causes each and every year. Whether it’s on the job, walking down the street, or even in a retail establishment like this case with our client is, it’s not uncommon for victims to sustain potentially serious and life-changing injuries. When you are on someone else’s property and slip or trip and fall, suffering injuries, you may have the right to compensation through what are known as “premises liability” laws. Premises liability laws essentially state that property owners have a duty to protect the safety of those who are invited to their property, either through expressed invitationor implied.
When you have been injured after slipping and falling, you may have the right to compensation. In the case of this particular incident, our client is alleging that the store’s failure to clean the water puddle violated their duty to ensure the safety of their customers, and thus was an example of negligence. Because of this negligence, our client was injured through no fault of her own, and thus she has the right to compensation for the serious injuries she suffered as a result of the incident.
