What are commonly called "slip and fall" claims, include
situations where a person falls due to a crack in the pavement; oil in a parking lot; an
uneven surface in some area of flooring; ice that accumulates in an area of pavement due
to a defect in the surface of a walkway area, and other similar circumstances. The
"cause" of the fall (ie: oil, ice, water, debris, etc.); the source of the
"cause"; and the length of time that such condition has existed, are what
determine whether or not a claim can be successfully pursued.
IT IS ABSOLUTELY CRUCIAL THAT YOU UNDERSTAND THAT
