How can I prove that the property owner is at fault?
In order to recover financial compensation for injuries suffered in a slip/trip & fall, you must be able to prove that certain elements existed at the time of the accident.
For example, you will need to show that one of the following is true in order to establish that the property owner was at fault:
- The owner or an employee created the hazardous conditions
- The owner knew about the hazardous conditions & did nothing about it
- The owner should have reasonably known about the hazardous conditions
The third situation is by far the most common, as most property owners are usually wary of admitting fault outright. Under these circumstances, you will need to show that another "reasonable" person in the same situation would have noticed, and remedied, the dangerous conditions.
