Slip and Fall Accidents and Premise Liability

Your right to sue for a slip and fall accident at based on the concept of premise liability. That is, property owners owe their guests a duty of care – a duty to ensure that their entire premises are completely safe for their guests. Property owners must test and inspect their premises routinely (both through walkthroughs and through video footage). This allows property owners to identify and address the hazards (or dangerous conditions) present throughout their premises. When property owners fail to identify or simply ignore the hazards throughout their premises, they are breaching their duty of care and negligently putting innocent shoppers (guests) at risk of suffering incidents and harm. Because of premise liability, if a property owner contributes to the harm that a guest suffers, the property owner can be liable.

In other words, if the managers or owners at Big Lots failed to ensure the safety of the premises, leading to an incident and injuries, they could be liable. That is, you could sue Big Lots for the harm that you or a member of your family suffered in a slip and fall accident. For more information about your right to sue based on premise liability, contact the experts at our firm today.
