Should I Make a Slip and Fall Accident Claim?
If you have been seriously injured in a slip or fall, the decision to take action largely depends on whether someone is responsible for your injury. Determining fault can be complicated but typically, the liability falls onto one of the following four individuals/organizations:
- Property owners
- Snow removal/Property maintenance companies
- Homeowners
- The victim
