What Comprises a Negligence Claim?

Property owners owe a “duty of care” to any visitors who enter their premises. A violation of that duty is called “negligence.” Evidence of negligence may include surveillance footage, photos of the hazardous conditions that caused the fall, eyewitness depositions, an official incident report, records of similar accidents that occurred on the property in the past, and property maintenance records. If you have been injured in a slip and fall, it is critical to act quickly to preserve your claim. In slip and fall cases that involve physical evidence like a torn carpet or a liquid spill, another party can (and likely will) try to erase any sign of the hazard. To mitigate this risk, you can:

Inform the property owner or manager.
Complete an incident report.
Contact the police to secure an accident report.
Take photos and videos of the accident scene.
Record the names and contact information of the property owner, tenant, or manager on-site at the time of the accident.
Ask eyewitnesses for their names and contact information.
Keep the shoes that the victim was wearing at the time of the fall
