Who is liable in a slip and fall case?
If the slip and fall was the result of negligence, you may have a case against the property owner, but it is important to speak to a slip and fall attorney. If the fall occurred on government property, you may have a case against the municipality or jurisdiction where the fall occurred. Even if you have fallen on your own property, you may be entitled to some money from your insurance company.

What should I do if I have been injured in a slip and fall?
If you have been hurt has the result of a fall, your first priority should always be to get the medical attention that you need. Getting medical attention early will help to establish the fact that your injury was the result of that specific fall. And early diagnosis and treatment may also help to protect you from your injury worsening over time.
Additionally, you should start gathering information that you can give to your flip and fall accident lawyer. This information may include the time and date that you fell, a description of your injuries, a description of the condition of the property (for example, was their debris lying around or ice that had not been cleared away?). If possible, you should also try to take pictures of the property and any dangerous conditions that led to your fall, as well as get statements and contact information from any potential witnesses.
Even if you are not sure whether or not you have a case, you should also speak to a personal injury lawyer that specializes in slips and falls. They can help you assess your case and determine whether you might be eligible for compensation.
