Law obliges property owners to maintain a secure environment for visitors by complying with these essential requirements:

• Ensuring a Safe Environment for Visitors: Property owners must take necessary measures to prevent potential hazards.

• Prompt Property Repairs: Owners should address and fix property issues in a timely fashion.

• Displaying Warning Signs for Hazards: Proper signage should be in place to inform visitors of any potential dangers.

• Limiting Access to Hazardous Areas: Property owners must restrict entry to areas with known risks or property hazards.

Despite the apparent simplicity of these regulations, many property owners fail to adhere to them, leading to slip and fall injuries that can be attributed to ignorance or negligence.

In order to prove a property owner’s negligence resulted in your injury, a skilled personal injury attorney is necessary to gather evidence and demonstrate the following points:

The property owner owed you a duty of care.
They breached that duty.
You suffered injuries due to their failure.

No matter where your slip and fall took place — be it a city mall, sports venue, or public park — Double Eagle Injury Law is prepared to assist you in obtaining the maximum compensation available for your case.

Our attorneys at Double Eagle Injury Law possess a wealth of experience in managing slip and fall cases. Throughout their practice, they have adeptly navigated claims involving various property hazards such as:

• Inadequately Maintained Stairs: Stairs with loose, broken, or uneven steps pose a significant risk for slip and fall accidents.

• Faulty Handrails: Unstable or improperly installed handrails can lead to severe injuries if they fail to provide adequate support.

• Slippery Walkways: Wet or slick surfaces, such as those caused by spills or recently cleaned floors, contribute to slip and fall incidents.

• Ice-Covered Sidewalks: Winter conditions can cause sidewalks to become icy and treacherous, increasing the likelihood of falls.

• Torn or Frayed Carpet: Damaged carpeting can create tripping hazards, particularly in high-traffic areas.

• Obstructive Debris: Items left in walkways, like cords, boxes, or tools, can cause individuals to trip and fall.

• Insufficient Lighting: Poorly lit areas make it difficult to see potential hazards, increasing the risk of accidents.

• Uneven or Warped Flooring: Flooring defects, such as buckled or cracked surfaces, can lead to unexpected trips and falls.

In the aftermath of a slip and fall accident, you may qualify for compensation related to:

• Lost income due to missed work

Under state law, visitors are typically categorized into three main groups, each of which is owed varying levels of care by property owners:

Invitees

An invitee is someone who enters a property at the invitation of the property owner, typically for the owner’s benefit. Invitees include patrons visiting commercial establishments such as shopping malls or sports venues for purposes related to the location’s business activities.

Licensees

A licensee is a visitor who enters a property for their own objectives or business interests. This category often encompasses entrepreneurs or vendors participating in events at the numerous convention centers or function rooms throughout the city.

Social guests are also deemed licensees. For example, if you attend a neighbor’s cookout or poolside gathering, the property owner is not responsible for inspecting or repairing known hazards. Rather, the owner’s duty of care entails providing warnings about any known dangerous conditions and ensuring the safety of those conditions that may not be easily detected by the guests.

Trespassers

Trespassers are individuals who access a property without explicit or implied permission. Generally, property owners do not have a duty to make reasonable efforts to protect their property from trespassers.

Attractive nuisance law is a legal principle that holds property owners responsible for protecting children from dangerous conditions on their property. If there’s something on the property that could tempt children to enter and potentially get hurt, the owner must take reasonable steps to prevent injuries. If they fail to do so, they could be held liable for any harm that occurs.

In order to prove that a property owner has created an “attractive nuisance,” the following criteria must be met:

• A hazardous condition is present on the property that the owner should be aware of

• The owner has knowledge or should reasonably know that children frequently visit the vicinity.

• The dangerous condition has a high likelihood of causing harm or injury.

• The expense of addressing the hazard is significantly lower than the potential risk of harm.
