Proving Fault In Slip-And-Fall Cases
Sometimes it can be difficult to prove fault in slip-and-fall cases because negligence is not always as easily detected. Drinks can spill and potholes are common, so it takes a special kind of evidence to prove that negligence occurred.
For the defendant to be charged with negligence, it must be shown that the owner did not exercise appropriate “reasonableness,” which
resulted in an injury.
The following can help when determining reasonableness:
- Was the quality of the lighting good enough?
- Should the object that caused the accident have been moved to a different area?
- Does the property owner follow a regular maintenance regimen?
- Should the owner have enacted a warning about the dangerous object or area?
The better you can determine that the
property owner was negligent, the better your chances of receiving a high level of compensation.
