How Slip and Fall Claims Work

Most premises cases require proof that the owner or operator knew, or should have known, about a dangerous condition. Cleaning logs, inspection routines, prior complaints, and video can become central.

A store, landlord, tenant, snow contractor, or management company may share responsibility depending on who controlled the area and who had the duty to inspect or repair it.

An incident report, employee name, photos, and witness information can prevent later disputes about where and how the fall happened.
