Slip and fall accidents often happen without warning, but the conditions that cause them are rarely sudden. Habbas & Associates helps individuals in Modesto understand what led to the fall and what steps to take next.
What a Slip and Fall Claim Actually Involves
Slip and fall cases are a form of premises liability. They focus on whether a property owner failed to maintain reasonably safe conditions for visitors. To move forward with a claim, it must generally be shown that:
- A hazardous condition existed
- The property owner knew or should have known about it
- The condition was not addressed within a reasonable timeframe
- The hazard directly caused the injury
Each of these elements plays an important role in determining whether negligence was involved.
