When an accident or injury occurs to a visitor or tenant living on another person's property, the owner of the property may be responsible if it can be proved that their negligence caused the injury. If you have been injured at someone else's home or business which you believe may be a result of negligence, you may have a legal right to recover for your injuries sustained.
In cases involving slip and fall accidents, generally the injured person must prove that the property owners either failed to maintain the property or created unsafe conditions which caused the injury, or knew about the dangerous premises or unsafe hazard but didn't alert visitors to this fact. It is also important to determine whether or not the unsafe condition was permanent or temporary. In cases where the condition was temporary, the length of time it existed may have bearing on your ability to prove your case.
