To establish that you have a premises liability case, there are a number of things you have to prove, that a slip and fall lawyer can help with, such as:
- Duty of care: Proof of ownership must be established, which then proves that a person is responsible for preserving a safe environment for visitors.
- Breach of duty: Plaintiffs then need to establish that the owner failed to uphold that duty of care by neglecting to maintain the property sufficiently. If the property owner had a reasonable opportunity to discover and correct any hazardous conditions but failed to do so, then they have breached their duty.
- Causation of the injury: The plaintiff then has to prove a direct link between the breach and the actual injury.
- Damages: Finally, the plaintiff must prove damages as a result of the injury. This can include medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering, to name a few.

COMMON PREMISES LIABILITY CLAIMS
Slips, trips, and falls make up the bulk of premises liability injury claims. While property owners are not necessarily responsible for every slip and fall on their property, if unsafe and preventable conditions led to the injury, then the owner could be held liable.
Other common causes of premises liability claims include:
- Pooling/standing water
- Insufficient safety equipment/notices
- Broken/poorly maintained flooring
- Broken escalator/elevator
- Wet/slippery surfaces
- Insufficient security
These lawsuits can be tough to win, even under the best of circumstances.
