What is A “Duty of Care?”

Property owners owe a duty of care to everyone who enters their premises. This means that at a minimum, they have an obligation to act reasonably given the circumstances. The duty applies to everyone, however, the specific duty depends on the entrant’s visitor status. The three types of visitor status are invitee, licensee, and trespasser. Most often, slip and fall cases are brought by invitees: those who were injured on a business property. Invitees are owed the highest duty of care, which means that business owners not only must warn them about dangerous conditions on the premises but also regularly inspect the property to identify hazards that pose an injury risk. As such, even if the defendant asserts that he or she did not know about the hazard that caused your slip and fall, the duty of care may still When one party breaches the duty of care owed to another party, it is called “negligence.” Valuable evidence of negligence may include surveillance footage, photos of the hazard that caused your slip and fall, eyewitness deposition, the incident report, records of similar accidents occurring in the past, and building maintenance records.
