There are many thousand of cases where people are seriously injured each year after they slip or trip and fall on a dangerous floor, a flight of stairs, or a rough patch of ground. If you have been injured in such a way or your family members have got into the suffering then it can be either your fault or carelessness or liability of property owner. Slip and fall is very common and part of our normal living only. But you can not hold your property owner responsible all the time because of not removing every slippery substance on a floor. It is something that any normal person should find, judge and avoid to steer clear of any possible injury. We all have obligations to verify each of our steps. But once again property owners also need to be conscious on arranging any substances on the premises.

However it is difficult for you to determine whether yourself or some one else is legally to blame for your slip and trip. Though we can analyze some of the best possible determining factors:

Determining accountability:

To accuse of the property owners these considerations should be true and proved -

•The possessor of the building or an employee of it must have commenced the drip. Worn out, ragged spot, other slippery or dangerous surface or item was there on the bottom surface.

•Either or both of them have an prior knowledge of the dangerous space but did not taken any action for that

•The owner of the property or an employee should have clear thought that a reasonable and dutiful caretaker of the property would have explored and removed or repaired it.<>/p

Judges and adjudicators conclude whether the owner or occupier of property was enough cautious by deciding if the remedies the owner or occupier opted to keep the property safe were logical.

To determine property owner’s reasonableness some initial questions you can ask like:

•Does regular examining, cleaning or repairing the premises is being done by the property owner?

•Had the dangerous spot been there long enough that the owner should have known about it?

•Was there a legitimate reason for the object to be there? Was there any possibility of the object to have removed or covered  or else kept safe?

•Could a simple barrier have been created or a warning signal could have been given to prevent people from such accidents?

•Whether poor or broken lighting led to the accident?

If most of the answers are in your favor, you have a fair chance of winning the claim compensation. Along with this, you must have thought that whether yours significant carelessness have led to the accidents. You need not to prove to your insurance agent that you were enough careful but explain it clearly and honestly so that your insurance adjuster would for see you careful naturally.
