Who Is Liable for a Slip and Fall Injury?

Liability in slip and fall cases depends on who owned, controlled, or maintained the property where the fall occurred. In general, property owners must take reasonable steps to keep their premises safe.

Potentially Liable Parties

• Store or business owners
• Landlords
• Property management companies
• Maintenance contractors

Key Factors

To prove liability, you must show the responsible party knew (or should have known) about the hazard and failed to fix it in time.

Speak with a lawyer to investigate all responsible parties and build a strong claim for compensation.
