Slip and Fall Basics
Businesses have a duty to warn customers of unknown hazards. This would include puddles of any kind, broken steps, obstructed walkways., etc. If they don’t warn you and you or someone you know is hurt because that business didn’t warn you or them, they’re liable to pay for any injury sustained.
These types of injuries are more common than you may think. A poorly lit hallway with a bunched up rug may lead to someone breaking their leg which requires multiple surgeries to repair. These surgeries can be extremely expensive. Luckily, most commercial businesses have very large insurance policies to protect them in such situations. These insurance policies can pay for the surgeries your or your loved one may need.
