Understanding Who Is at Fault After a Slip and Fall Injury

 

If you’ve slipped, fallen, and sustained an injury on someone else’s property, you can consult a personal injury lawyer in Annapolis to find out if you may have the grounds for a lawsuit. Your attorney can interview witnesses and investigate the accident to determine who might be held liable for your injuries. To learn more about establishing fault in a slip and fall case, watch this video or consult your attorney.

This video explains that your personal injury lawyer will determine whether the property owner might be found to have behaved negligently because he or she failed to act in the same manner that any other reasonable person might have done in a similar situation. In other words, the property owner must have known or should have known that a dangerous condition existed, yet failed to take appropriate steps to fix the problem.
