Slip and fall injury medical costs amount to more than $30 billion per year and many people end up hospitalized due to slipping and falling. If someone’s negligence caused your injury, then you could file a lawsuit and may be entitled to financial compensation for any injuries. In general, negligence in the context of a slip and fall case can be established if:
- The owner either knew of the unsafe conditions or should have known that the conditions existed based on a reasonable standard of care, and
- The hazardous conditions are what caused the accident resulting in the victim’s injuries.
The critical part of this definition is establishing that the defendant had a reasonable standard of care and breached that standard through some action or inaction. For example, if you fall in an ice cream store due to a puddle of water on the ground, that may be grounds for a negligence suit because the store owner has a reasonable duty of care to clean those kinds of unsafe conditions up. Negligence would be established if the owner knew about the dangerous conditions or that they would have known of the hazardous conditions if they exercised a reasonable standard of care.
