Understanding Premises Liability
Property owners owe different duties based on your status:
- Invitees (customers, clients) — highest duty of care, must actively inspect for hazards
- Licensees (social guests) — must warn of known hidden dangers
- Trespassers — minimal duty, except for children (attractive nuisance)
Common Causes
- Wet or slippery floors without warning signs
- Uneven surfaces, cracked sidewalks, raised tiles
- Poor lighting in stairwells, parking lots, hallways
- Broken stairs and missing handrails
- Ice, snow, and weather hazards on walkways
- Cluttered walkways blocking paths
- Parking lot potholes and cracks
Where Falls Happen Most
- Grocery stores and supermarkets
- Restaurants and bars
- Shopping malls and retail stores
- Hotels, hospitals, and medical facilities
- Parking lots and garages
- Apartment complexes and workplaces
Common Slip and Fall Injuries
- Hip Fractures — Surgery + months of rehab, high mortality risk for seniors
- Traumatic Brain Injuries — Head impacts causing concussions and cognitive impairment
- Spinal Injuries — Herniated discs, compression fractures, chronic pain
- Broken Wrists/Arms — Most common as people extend arms to break falls
- Knee Injuries — Torn ACL, MCL, meniscus requiring surgery
Proving Your Case
- Notice: Property owner knew or should have known about the hazard
- Surveillance: Security footage — we act fast before it’s overwritten
- Records: Maintenance logs, inspection reports, prior complaints
- Witnesses: Employees and customers who saw the hazard
Slip and Fall FAQ
What if there was a wet floor sign?
Signs don’t automatically eliminate liability. They must be visible, adequate, and the hazard can’t persist unreasonably long.
What if I was partially at fault?
You can still recover in most states — compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault.
