How To Prove Fault In a Slip and Fall Claim

Important Questions to Ask to Determine If You Have a Claim

● Did either the property owner or his or her employees know or

should have known about the hazardous condition or defect that

caused your injuries?

● Did the owner or their employee know about the hazardous

condition or defect but failed to fix or repair it?

● How long had the hazardous or defective condition been present

prior to your accident?

● What type of daily cleaning actions does the property owner

have in place to prevent such hazardous conditions?

● If the owner claims he or she has a cleaning routine, can it be

proven to support the claim?

● Did you have a legitimate reason for being present on the

property at the time the accident happened?

● Were you engaging in any activities that contributed to your slip

and fall accident?

● Were you injured as a result of the slip and fall accident?

Depending on the answers to these questions and the extent of the evidence you have to prove your answers, you may have a valid claim against the property owner.
