What if I am injured in a "Slip and Fall" Accident?

If you are injured in a slip and fall, you should report the injury to the owner or occupier of the place where you were injured. Get the names and addresses of any witnesses. Photograph the area and cause of your fall. If the defect was caused by the owner of the property agents or assigns there is liability. If someone else left something for you to trip over, that person is liable. The landlord/renter will be liable, if the person knows of the defect and did not fix it or should have known of the defect through reasonable inspection but failed to act reasonably in conducting the inspection or failed to conduct the inspection. Remember that just because you are injured, someone is not automatically at fault.
