It is the duty of property owners and business managers to ensure that their property is safe for all visitors. Premises liability, also known as slip and fall, is an area of personal injury law designed to protect victims who are harmed on another party’s property (public or private), through no fault of their own. To establish a premises liability case, victims must prove three things: that the owner or employees of a premise created or allowed the dangerous condition that lead to the injury; that the owner or employees knew about the danger and failed to prevent it or to warn visitors; or that the dangerous condition or situation was apparent for long enough that any reasonable person could have rectified it. While victims of premises liability transgressions may believe that their claims are clear-cut, these cases are often complicated and difficult to defend. The attorneys at the personal injury law firm of Behnke, Martin & Schulte, L.L.C. have years of experience successfully litigating on behalf of victims in a number of premises liability or slip and fall claims, including:
Unless a victim was trespassing at the time of a slip and fall incident, the property owner can still be liable for any injury that occurs, even if he or she was unaware of unsafe conditions. If you were injured on another person’s property through no fault of your own, you may have a premises liability claim, in which case you are legally entitled to compensation for your damages.
