Not Every Slip & Fall Accident in a Supermarket or on a Playground Entitles a Claim... Does Yours?

The owner or manager of a property is responsible for maintaining it in a reasonably safe manner. People who enter a property are responsible for using reasonable caution. Not every slip and fall accident in a super market or broken arm on a school playground entitles an injured person to bring a claim against a property owner.

When an injury occurs in a public building, a pool or playground, or even at a private residence, a judge will look for evidence that the owner knew or should have known about the potential danger. For example:

• Was that spill left in the store aisle for 15 minutes? Was it a repeated problem?

• Had parents previously complained about unsafe playground equipment?

• Was the owner sited by safety inspectors for a missing handrail?

• Were the safety harnesses missing for construction workers working at elevations?

• Did the homeowner have a history of not shoveling the  sidewalk?
