Thousands of people are injured each year as a result of a dangerous or hazardous condition on someone else’s property or at their workplace. These types of injuries are termed “slip and fall” or “trip and fall” injuries and include falls as a result of water, ice or snow, as well as abrupt changes in flooring, poor lighting, or a hidden hazard, such as a gap or hard to see hole in the ground.

Each person has a duty to watch where they are going, as well as knowing that there are things that could fall or spill onto walking areas. The property owner has certain responsibilities to keep their property safe from possible injuries. Both the property owner and the injured person can be held accountable to varying degrees of responsibility for an injury.

If you have been injured as a result of a dangerous condition on someone else’s property, the landowner or business proprietor may be liable for your injuries. If you are a property owner and someone injuries himself on your land, you may find yourself legally responsible for those injuries.
