Slip and fall accidents require a lawyer for a number of reasons, including the complexity of a given case. Every slip and fall case is unique and may require a alternative approach in order to successful recover on a claim or lawsuit.

No Warning or Caution Signs Placed Placed Near the Hazard That Caused The Slip and Fall

The absences of warnings or caution signs situated near the hazard that caused you to slip and fall, can be a indicator of the property manager’s negligence. However, there are specific elements that must be proven and evidence that must show. Such as that the property manager failed to put a warning sign within a reasonable time of discovering the hazard or failed to notice the hazard within a reasonable time.
