3-Did you ever notice this defect or substance before the accident?

Your question lacks a lot of detail. What caused his fall? What did he fall on? Where did he fall? Slip and fall actions can be extremely difficult to prove as the owner of the property must have created a dangerous condition, or should have known of a dangerous condition and did nothing about it.
