SLIP AND FALL (Premises Liability) Questions
Who is responsible for my injuries? The person responsible is potentially the premises owner, store owner, or land owner. This person has a duty to maintain their premises in a safe fashion. This includes an affirmative duty to look for and make safe potentially dangerous conditions. Who pays for my injuries if someone else is responsible? The insurance company for the person responsible is usually the first line of payment. What should I do immediately after a slip and fall? If you’re not too badly injured, it is important to investigate right away. An attorney can help you arrange for an investigator who will access the property immediately, take photos, and interview witnesses. You also want to be sure of any deadlines that require notice be given to a party soon after the accident occurs. A letter should be sent to the premises
owner stating that you have been injured on their property and that they were negligent. You must request their insurance information and then contact their insurance company. If they do not respond, a civil case must be filed. How would a premises owner be responsible for my injuries? They failed to make their premises safe. Do other people get hurt this badly in slip and falls? Yes. Slip and falls have a bad reputation because insurance companies make us think that these types of accidents are made up by “sue- happy” people looking to cash in on their accident. The reality is that many people are hurt daily because of the negligence of facilities and people who get the benefit of a customer’s business but don’t take the necessary steps to protect that customer.
