The National Floor Safety Institute states that slip and falls account for over 1 million hospital visits annually. With these high statistics, you’d think that proving a slip-and-fall injury case would be simple; however, determining fault can be challenging and requires experienced legal assistance. If you have experienced a slip-and-fall injury, there are several elements to prove to validate your case. NEGLIGENCE AND LIABILITY One step in your slip-and-fall case is to prove that the property owner was specifically negligent. This means they failed to act reasonably prudent and potentially ignored possible risks or violations. • If the hazardous condition existed long enough for the owner to eliminate it • Whether or not the owner regularly checked for repairs and damages • If there was reasonable justification for the creation of the hazard • If poor lighting or limited visibility played a role in slip and fall YOU DIDN’T CAUSE THE ACCIDENT YOURSELF In a split-and-fall case, defendants typically argue they are not at fault because you caused the accident yourself. You could be charged with comparative negligence if you were: • Texting or using a cellphone immediately before the injury • In a prohibited area • Failed to adhere to properly labeled caution and warning signs The Best in Arts and Entertainm FEBRUARY’S MUST-ATT What could be more romantic during the month of love than experiencing the arts?
