Slip & Falls Dangerous Premises

The owners and/or occupiers of premises have an obligation to ensure that it is free from unexpected hazards. The obligations can vary depending on the circumstances. In a nutshell, the premises must be free from unexpected hazards. For example, one going to a department store would not necessarily expect there to be soapy water spread all over the floor without any adequate warnings of such a hazard. If one were to fall on this and break one's hip, the owner of the premises may be responsible for your injuries and you may be entitled to losses as noted in the personal injury section.

Other examples that are common whereby an owner of a premises can be held liable for injuries are circumstances involve stairwells with broken railings, build-up of ice in locations where one would not expect it, and injuries from broken the playground equipment.
