A slip & fall lawsuit is an example of a "Premises Liability" case. the law dictates that a property owner has a legal responsibility to keep his premisis in a reasonably safe condition.
This means that if you slip & fall on a wet floor while staying in a casino, the casino may have been in breach of its duty to provide a reasonably safe environment for its guests. If you sustained a personal injury as a result of this negligence, you may, in fact, be entitled to monetary compensation from the casino that failed to provide the safe environment. The real legal issue in question in slip & fall personal injury cases is whether the specified condition was unreasonably dangerous, which means that just because the floor in the casino was wet, a victim would not necessarily win or be entitled to damages in a slip & fall case. As an example, if you were the one that poured the water on the floor so the casino was not really at fault, the hotel may not be held liable in a personal injury lawsuit. Also, if the casino had roped off the floor where the floor was wet, but you entered that restricted area anyway, the casino would most likely not be liable for injuries sustained as a result of your failure to heed there warnings.
"Our Personal Injury Law Firm In addition to slip & falls, there are numerous other types of injuries that may be sustained on another's property and there are specific laws and guidelines involved with premises liability. Many judges determine the property owner's liability based on the status of the person on the premisis, so a judge may find that the property owner has a different responsibility to a guest than he would have to a trespasser. |
