A slip and fall action is a type of personal injury lawsuit
filed by a plaintiff who has been injured by a slip and fall, usually
on the defendant’s property.
The plaintiff in slip and fall cases must
usually show that the owner of the property had notice or knowledge of
the condition, and failed to clean it up and rectify it within a
reasonable amount of time. Additionally, if the plaintiff has knowingly
encountered a hazard, then he or she may have trouble holding the
defendant liable.
