Help for Your Fairfield County Premises Liability Injury

When you have a slip and fall accident in Fairfield County

If you are careful around your house, or on any property that you own, you can usually avoid having an accident in which you slip, fall, and hurt yourself.  That is because you prevent these accidents by making sure that your property is safe, secure, and unlikely to cause such harm.

But that is not necessarily the case when you are on the property of someone else.  If you are utilizing the property of another person, that party bears a responsibility comparable to the one you have for your own property.  Fairfield County premises liability law provides ways for you to pursue a claim against an individual who does not work to keep his or her property safe—if, that is, the lack of safety resulted in your injury.

Facts about premises liability

• Did you know the following information about slip and fall or similar accidents?
• They can occur either inside or outside of a piece of property (such as a house versus a driveway, or a shop versus a storefront).
• You can pursue a claim regardless of whether your accident occurred on public or private property.
• If property is owned jointly, you can file a claim against both owners for the part that each played in the accident.
• Causes of slip and fall accidents can include cracked pavement, poor design, or lack of needed maintenance.
• You can sue for a slip and fall injury at work.  Instead of a personal injury suit, however, you need to pursue a workers compensation claim first.

Proving liability

To prove liability, you must show the following:

The owner of the property had a responsibility to keep it safe

• The party responsible for maintaining safety failed to fulfill that obligation
• The failure resulted in your injury
