Premises injuries most commonly occur at restaurants, supermarkets, and shopping malls.

The term “slip and fall” describes the type of injury that occurs on someone else’s property, usually as a result of a defective surface, a slippery substance, or other dangerous conditions. These injuries most commonly occur in restaurants, supermarkets, and shopping malls.

The fact that you become injured from a slip, trip, or fall does not necessarily mean that someone else is legally responsible for your injury. The owner or operator of a business has a legal duty to maintain the premises in a reasonably safe condition, or at least warn the public of a dangerous condition that they caused, were aware of, or should have been aware of.

If these tests are not met, and you injure yourself on their property as a result of their failure to meet these conditions, you may have a valid claim against the business owner or operator. Premises liability claims encompass a variety of injuries including but not limited to injuries sustained:

• In elevators
• In stores
• In building corridors
• Outside on private or public land
• In resorts
• During recreational activities
