Slip and fall/Premises liability

Cartoons and television shows often portray falls as comedic incidents, but anyone who has been seriously injured in a fall knows that they are no laughing matter. Falls may result in broken bones, dislocated limbs and even head injuries. Incidents in which an injured party has slipped or tripped on someone else’s property are known as “slip and falls” or “trip and falls.” Such cases are part of an area of the law called “premises liability.”

The law pertaining to premises liability generally requires a person or entity that is in possession of a property to keep that property free from dangerous conditions which pose an unreasonable risk of harm to others. Unreasonably dangerous conditions might include inadequate lighting, uneven pavement, a slippery floor or a missing handrail. It is important to know that people who are injured in slip or trip and falls have a limited time in which they may file a lawsuit. The time constraints are even tighter if the property on which the individual was injured was government-owned or controlled.
