We leave our homes every day to embark on journeys big and small. Often, these journeys are simple trips to the supermarket or to dinner at a local restaurant. We never expect to be injured during a quick visit to a local business, but nonetheless, it happens to people all the time. Wherever you may go, the owner of that property has a duty to keep the premises in a reasonably safe condition, or at the very least, to warn people of any dangerous conditions that could cause an injury. Whether you slipped on a puddle of spilled liquid or tripped over an obstruction, the property owner may be responsible for your injuries and damages.

The moments following a slip and fall accident are the most important to your claim. After a slip and fall accident, the property owner will take steps to remedy the dangerous condition. For example, if you slip on a puddle of spilled milk in the supermarket, the store manager will direct an employee to clean the spill immediately. Of course, the supermarket does not want another customer to fall, but it is also altering or even destroying any evidence of the dangerous condition that caused your injuries. Your testimony that a spill existed is not necessarily enough to succeed.

Slip and fall cases can be very complex. Determining liability is not always easy. Property owners and their insurance companies deny slip and fall claims for a host of reasons. The law regarding slip and fall accidents is decidedly pro defendant. Therefore, it is imperative that you hire an experienced attorney as soon as possible if you are injured in a slip and fall accident.
