If I pursue a lawsuit against a landowner for a slip and fall accident, what are some of the things that the landowner might argue against me? |
 |
Slip and fall cases are difficult to win. If the hazardous condition was temporary (like a water spill), owners will probably argue that the spill occurred so soon before the incident that they could not have prevented it.
You should also expect the land owner (or the owner's attorney) to argue that you fell because you were inattentive, careless, or even intoxicated at the time. If the land owner (or the owner's attorney) can prove that you were also at fault for your fall, that may reduce or eliminate your ability to recover for your injuries depending on the laws of your state.
If you were injured due to a hazardous condition on someone else's property, you should seek the advice of an experienced persona injury lawyer right away. |
