How Do You Prove Premises Liability in a Slip and Fall Case?

Premises liability refers to the legal duty of property owners to maintain a reasonably safe environment on their property for guests. Under this legal concept, property owners may be liable if someone is injured as a result of a hazardous condition on their property that was foreseeable or could have been prevented through the exercise of reasonable care by the property owner.

To prove premises liability, a claimant must must establish the four legal elements of negligence: duty to exercise reasonable care, breach of that duty, resulting injury caused by the breach, and damages. A claimant can prove these elements by gathering evidence such as photos or videos of the hazardous condition, documenting the incident and injuries with accident and medical reports, collecting witness statements, and demonstrating the property owner’s knowledge of the danger.
