You’re walking down the aisle of your local supermarket, peering carefully at the shelves. Where’s that olive oil you always buy? You can’t remember the brand, but maybe if you saw the label … suddenly, you’re on the ground, lying next to a broken piece of tile. You try to get into position to stand up, and that’s when the pain flares, blasting violently through your entire leg. It won’t seem to budge. When you eventually get out of the doctor’s and into a cast, and hopefully onto your feet, you might be asking yourself, “Do I need a lawyer?” The answer: It depends. The first thing you should determine when considering legal counsel is whether or not your fall warrants an attorney’s attention. Did you have a broken bone or need surgery? Will it interfere substantially with your ability to work and your quality of life? If not, you probably don’t need to get on the phone just yet. Then, you need to assign responsibility for the fall. Just because you fell on someone’s property doesn’t mean they are liable. In order for your case to hold water, you’ll need to prove two things. First, you need to prove, beyond reasonable doubt, that the owner had actual or constructive knowledge of the substance or item that caused the fall. Second, you must prove that you didn’t know about the substance or item despite the exercise of care on your part. Not only that, but it’s important to note that slip-and-fall cases are highly vulnerable to motions by the property owner’s lawyers to throw out the case. Many property owners will have logs showing that they had an inspection routine in place. If they can show that they patrolled looking for hazards every 15–20 minutes, the court will throw out the case. Our lawyers combat stores’ allegations with detective work and depositions. While it is relatively easy for a store to put up a brave front and to claim that their policies and procedures are airtight, it tends to crumble when hourly wage employees are deposed under oath.
