Maybe yes, maybe no. If the accident was not your fault and you sustained serious injuries, you might be able to obtain compensation from the negligent property owner.
What You Must Prove In Slip And Fall Accidents
- There was a hazard present; and
- That hazard directly caused you to fall; and
- The fall caused your injuries; and
- The property owner or manager knew or should have know of the hazard
Make sure the property owner is aware of your injuries. Contact a Warren personal injury lawyer immediately after the incident to ensure your best interests are protected.
