What is a slip and fall accident?
Many slip and fall accidents occur each year. This can include falling down stairs, or slipping on an unsafe floor.
In these cases, sometimes the owner of the property is at
fault. It also may be the injured person's fault if he was not careful.
If you have been involved in a slip and fall accident, it is
important to take the following points into consideration. These points
can determine if you have a slip and fall case and determine liability
of the accident.
• An employee or property owner must have caused the spill or dangerous surface.
• An employee or property owner must have known about the spill or dangerous surface, but chose to ignore it.
• An employee or property owner should have noticed the
dangerous surface or unsafe spill because during normal care, a
reasonable person would have noticed the issue and fixed the problem.
Reasonable care
The last point (that of reasonable care) can be difficult to
determine. Employees and property owners should take reasonable regular
care to keep a building safe and clean.
Many things will be considered to determine if the property
owner is at fault. This can include determining whether the property
owner had adequate warnings and signs posted for a spill or unsafe floor
area. It can also be determined whether there was adequate lighting
around the accident area.
If a property owner did not take the necessary steps to avoid
this type of accident, he or she may be accountable for your injuries
because they did not provide the public with a safe environment.
Carelessness
It is also important to consider carelessness. Did your
carelessness contribute to the slip and fall accident? If you did not
take necessary care to avoid an accident, you could be at fault.
Our experienced Jacksonville personal injury attorneys can
help to determine the liability and decide if you have a slip and fall
case. Speaking with an attorney can allow you to explain your accident
and discuss what actions you took to protect yourself from receiving the
injuries.
