Know this

What makes slip and fall cases different

  • 1

    You generally must show the owner knew or should have known about the hazard.

  • 2

    Your own share of fault (for example, not watching where you walked) is often disputed.

  • 3

    Claims against a city or public agency can have very short notice deadlines.

Checklist

Evidence to save now

  • Photos of the hazard exactly as it was, before it is cleaned up
  • An incident report from the store or property manager
  • The shoes you were wearing
  • Witness contact details
  • Medical records and bills
