Title: Responsibility for Slip and Falls Lawsuit Funding


1
Responsibility for Slip and Falls Lawsuit Funding
2
  • How can you prove the responsibility, in case
    there is any? Here you can see some
    considerations that you need to know about and
    keep count of

3
Reason of device or instrument
  • Some instruments are positioned in the places
    they are for a specific reason. For example,
    drainage entrances are installed in order to make
    sure that the space will not be flooded during
    times when it rains.

4
  • You need to understand that the owner or property
    manager cannot be considered guilty in case the
    heel of your shoe gets stuck in the floor or
    draining gate and you fall.

Normal incidences
  • Gravity is used to explain why liquids leak on
    the floor and why items fall on the floor. This
    is something completely normal to happen and in
    certain cases only, the property owner or the
    manager cannot be made responsible for failing to
    instantly wipe up or pick up everything that
    leaks or falls on the floor.

7
Our responsibility
  • Every individual in person has the responsibility
    to pay attention and care where they are going.
    For example, in case you are reading a book and
    you stumble on the stairs, then it is quite
    difficult to blame the mall owner about your
    situation.

  • In case the property owner can show evidence that
    they were careful and tried to prevent such types
    of falls and stumbles and that a person could
    have seen the obstacle in case they have been
    more careful, them it may become quite difficult
    for you to prove their responsibility.

10
  • Additionally, if you were absentminded,
    inattentive or running when you stumbled, that it
    may be impossible for you to prove that the owner
    is responsible for it.

Owners responsibility
  • Things change if the owner or their employees
    know about an unsafe surface, case in which they
    have the responsibility of taking immediate
    action about it.

13
  • The owner has the responsibility to have a
    rational person to rely on, who should look for
    and find any potential threats and either report
    them or repair them if this is possible.

14
  • In order that responsibility to be assumed to the
    owner, it must be proven that the owner or one of
    the employees must have caused the slippery
    surface, such as for example by torn or spill
    caused by them, that caused the slip or fall of
    the injured victim.
