Premises Liability Issues

Like most premises liability issues, slip and fall accidents are extremely complicated. Different duties are owed to different people at different times, and the question of foreseeability of a dangerous condition is one that can vary by jurisdiction.

For example, some jurisdictions see the question of foreseeability as a question of fact for a jury, while others apply a legally-driven, objective standard to just about every situation for slip and fall cases.
