Who Is Liable for Slip & Fall Accidents?
Slip and fall accidents can be caused by a number of different factors, including:

In most cases, the property owner is responsible for keeping their property reasonably safe for visitors. This includes keeping floors and walkways free of debris and other hazards. If you slip and fall on a wet floor, for example, you may have a valid claim for negligence.
