If you are considering bringing a claim after a slip and fall accident, you may want to be forewarned about some of the legal obstacles that you might encounter. Property owners who are in danger of being sued in a premises liability claim also should know that they may have arguments that they can raise to reduce or avoid liability. These cases are highly fact-intensive, so whether a certain defense applies in your case will depend on a careful investigation of the circumstances.
A property owner may be able to defend against a premises liability claim on the basis of comparative negligence, inadequate notice, or certain procedural defenses.
