Slip, or trip and fall accidents can happen anywhere. For example, a person may be exiting a store when they slip and fall on ice in the parking lot, only to sustain a serious injury. These types of accidents are quite common and while many people make full recoveries, others are less fortunate and develop debilitating, lifelong symptoms.

After people have been injured from a slip, or trip and fall accident, they may decide to take legal action to recover compensation for their injuries. However, in order for people to be successful throughout the legal process, they must be able to prove several things.

First, they must be able to prove that the owner of the property was aware that a dangerous condition existed or should have been aware. Second, they must prove that the owner did not warn people of the dangerous condition or fix the hazard. Third, they must prove that they sustained their injuries because of the dangerous condition. Finally, they must prove that the property owner’s negligence caused their slip, trip and fall accident and injuries.

Proving negligence in these cases is many times tougher than in your normal negligence case, especially when facing aggressive attorneys or property owners.
