Have You Been Injured In A Slip And Fall Accident?
Slip and Fall Cases Are Also Known As Premises Liability Actions
|
Generally speaking a slip and fall case, or as otherwise known a premises liability action, is a case where a person is injured as a result of a defect on the property of another. In an individual's home setting the property owner's home owners insurance would apply. In a business setting the business's commercial liability policy would be in play. The major elements of a premises liability action are the nature and extent of the injuries as well as the injured party's legal status on the property. Broadly speaking there are 3 types of legal standings a person can have to be on a particular piece of property trespasser, licensee, and invitee. Trespassers are given little protection from property defects, generally the only duty the property owner has to a trespasser is to not make the property more dangerous than it naturally is, i.e. setting traps.
