Establishing Fault in a Slip & Fall Accident Case

In New York, property owners have a legal duty to provide a reasonably safe environment for their visitors. This means that they must take steps to remedy potentially hazardous conditions as soon as they arise. If they fail to do so, and a visitor is subsequently injured on their property, they can be held liable for damages. However, since not all accidents can be avoided, property owners can only be held accountable for a slip and fall if one of the following is true: The property owner or an employee caused the

dangerous condition The property owner or an employee knew about the

dangerous condition The property owner or an employee should have

known about the danger
