Does Use or Ownership Affect Liability in a Slip & Fall Case?

Liability in a slip and fall case often depends on whether the property owner or tenant was responsible for maintaining the premises. Property owners, business operators, and landlords all have a legal duty to keep their premises safe for visitors. However, who is liable depends on several factors.

• Commercial Property:  If you fell at a business, the company or property owner could be responsible if they failed to address dangerous conditions.
• Residential Property: Homeowners and landlords may be liable for injuries if they failed to maintain safe conditions for tenants and visitors.
• Government Property: If your fall occurred on public property, such as a sidewalk or government building, special rules and timelines apply for filing a claim.
