Premises liability cases are what are known as "trip and fall", "slip and fall", and "falldown cases."
Premises liability law is actually quite a unique and deep area of law. There can be premises cases involving municipalities, wherein the rules applying to premises liability are also up against the tort immunity laws. There are premises cases involving snow and ice, which add that complicated dimension to the premises liability laws. And there are premises cases involving stores, homes, and other places that involve negligence claims, as well.
One of the most helpful things to do, if you experience a fall, is to take pictures of where you fell and what caused you to fall. With our smartphones, it makes it much easier to do so nowadays. Please also try to make a report of the incident with the property owner or manager, if possible.
If you experience a fall that results in injury, it is best to have an experienced attorney review the facts and law to see if you have a viable case.
