Another very common cause of personal injury is a slip and fall on another persons property, also known as premises or occupier’s liability cases.  Often in a premises liability/slip-and-fall case, there is some question as to who is responsible for the injuries and whether the responsible party did anything wrong.

There can be a number of different parties responsible for this type of injury, including:

Standard of care is where we usually concentrate when proving negligence. For example, if there are no procedures in place for prompt clearing of snow or spreading of salt or sand on icy steps, or if there had been plenty of time to clear snow and the owner simply hadn’t done it, your case is likely to be stronger.

Different premises have different standards of care, depending on their uses and the likelihood of people being injured on them. On one end of the spectrum, hospitals, day cares, schools and nursing homes are expected to take safety very seriously, since they are filled with vulnerable people.

On the other end, empty lots surrounded by fences with “Do Not Enter” signs are not generally expected to make safety their top priority.

In between, there are a wide variety of types of premises, and different standards of care expected of each kind. Some are purpose-specific. For example, bars are expected to be careful about drinking, and sports arenas are expected to keep equipment and bleachers in good repair.
