Slip and fall accidents are considered premises liability claims. Property owners have a legal duty of care to ensure that their premises are safe for guests and visitors. Failure of a property owner to take reasonable steps to ensure the area is safe, such as promptly cleaning up spills where someone could slip or placing wet floor signage around places where spills can’t be quickly cleaned. Responsible actions also include ensuring that slippery floors have proper warnings and that employees and management keep a watchful eye to ensure the place stays safe.
