Slip & Fall Accidents
How do I determine who is responsible for my Kansas City slip and fall injury?
Thousands of Americans are injured each year from falls. Falls can cause head injury, back injury, neck injury, sprains, strains, broken bones and other serious injuries. Falls may be caused by bad weather, uneven flooring, wet surfaces, objects left on the ground, or unsafe stairways. If you have injured in a fall at a department store, mall, hotel, stadium, park, apartment building, or other public space, you may be wondering, “Is someone else responsible?” and “Do I have a personal injury case?”
Premises liability law covers accidents that are caused by dangerous conditions on someone else’s property. This includes public spaces like parks, businesses such as movie theaters and shopping malls, and private residences like a friend’s home. In order for a property owner to be liable for your slip and fall injury, you must be able to prove the following:
1. Your injury was caused by a dangerous condition at the property.
2. And, one of the following is true.
• The property owner knew about the dangerous condition that caused the accident and did not do anything to fix it.
• The property owner should have known about the dangerous condition that caused the accident and should have taken steps to fix it.
• The property owner created the dangerous condition that caused the accident.
There are other factors that may be taken into consideration:
• Does the owner make regular efforts to ensure the property is safe and free of hazards?
• Is the property compliant with local property codes?
• How long did the dangerous condition exist and was there enough time for the owner to know about it and fix it?
• Were warning signs posted to notify of the dangerous condition?
• If the owner did try to fix the situation, were his actions appropriate and reasonable?
• Were you behaving in a careless way that caused or contributed to the accident? If you ignored warning signs or acted recklessly, you may be determined partly to blame.
