Where Does Slip and Fall Law Apply?

 

If property management, a store owner, or a property owner are negligent in how they maintain their property, you should not have to suffer the consequences alone.  Falls and other injuries can occur in many places.  Some of the most common sites of injuries include:

Retail Establishments

Stores, restaurants and offices have a responsibility to keep their patrons safe from dangerous conditions. Anything from a puddle on the floor to spilled merchandise can lead to a serious slip and fall.

 

Backyards

Injuries can happen in yards and playgrounds of friends and neighbors, but many avoidable injuries happen from deck collapses. A deck can collapse for a number of reasons: it was not built correctly, it was built using sub-par materials or in was not maintained properly.

Apartment Complexes

There are many potentially dangerous elements at large apartment complexes. Many complexes have pools, playground equipment and other recreational equipment. Injuries can easily happen if playgrounds and pools are not maintained well.

 

Pools

Sadly many pool injuries and deaths involve children.  Pools are considered attractive nuisances and it is the responsibility of the pool owner to keep children out of the area.  Pool injuries can also occur if the filter or pump malfunctions and the suction traps a swimmer underwater.
