Question 1

What Is a Slip and Fall Legal Claim?

Accepted Answer

A slip and fall case is a legal claim for compensation based on an accident that occurs on someone else’s property. Each property owner has a duty under the law to keep their property safe. Business owners who invite customers onto their property for the purposes of conducting business have the highest legal obligation to keep the property safe. When accidents occur, it may be the legal fault of the business owner for having a dangerous condition on the property. The victim may claim financial compensation for their losses and damages. A slip and fall legal claim may also be against people other than the property owner based on dangerous products or other actions that lead to the accident. Our slip and fall attorneys can help you determine who may be responsible for the accident in your case.
