Potentially Liable Parties
Even if you think—or were told—that your own inattention or clumsiness was to blame for your slip, trip, or fall injury, do not believe it. In most falls, someone other than the injured party is at least partly liable, and at Preszler Injury Lawyers, our job is to identify that party and hold them financially responsible.
The list of potentially liable parties for your slip and fall injury is potentially endless, but in our experience, the most likely ones include the following:
The Property Owner
Property owners are responsible for keeping their premises in reasonably good condition, which includes making sure no dangerous or hazardous conditions exist. When such a condition arises, the property owner must address it right away and must take steps to protect guests in the meantime.
The Property Manager
Property managers also shoulder a great deal of responsibility for the property’s condition, and when injuries result from a dangerous situation not properly attended to, we can hold them liable.
The Builder or Maintenance Company
If the homebuilder or a maintenance company hired to fix a hazardous condition on the property does not do an adequate job, we can pursue them for damages relating to an injury that subsequently occurs.
The Municipality
The local municipality may be liable for damages resulting from an injury that occurs due to a hazardous situation on public property. You must notify the city or municipality within 10 days under Section 44(10) of the Municipal Act, 2001 for sidewalks and highways.
