Milwaukee Slip and Fall Attorney

Premises liability law is the area of law that governs slip and fall accidents and help to determine who is at liable for accidents that take place when you fall on someone else's property. These laws vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and state to state.

Thousands of slip and fall injuries occur across the country every year. Someone tripping over an uneven sidewalk or slipping on a recently mopped supermarket floor can end up in the hospital facing long-term recovery time injuries. While determining fault isn’t always easy in slip and fall cases, in order for a victim to be able to hold a property owner liable for an accident, the following must be proven in order to have a clear cut liability case:

• The property owner was responsible for unsafe condition and the subsequent slip and fall accident (e.g. by spilling something and not cleaning it up).
• The property owner was aware of the condition of the property but did not try to correct it (by not posting a warning sign, etc).
• The property owner knew or should have known about the danger, since a "reasonable" person would have found the problem and taken steps to prevent injuries caused by the slip and fall accident.

There are, of course, some situations where exceptions to general slip and fall and premises liability cases come into play. These could include situations where trespassers come on to property without the permission of the owners, government property, and situations involving children and employees.
