How to Prove Fault in a Slip and Fall Accident Case

Premises liability cases are built on the concept of property manager negligence. If the property owner or employees fail to remove risk and potential danger hazards that innocent people, then they could be held accountable to pay for the damages.

As the injured party, the burden of proof falls on your shoulders when it comes to establishing fault. Our premises liability attorneys can help you prove fault by shedding light on their negligence and misconduct.

Under Oklahoma personal injury law, you will need to prove one of the following factors in order to have a valid claim:

• The owner or employees on the premises caused the surface underfoot to be slippery, dangerous, or uneven
• The property owner or employees knew about the dangerous hazard, yet did nothing to fix it
• The property manager or employees should have known about the dangerous surface and should have repaired it. This can be proven because any "reasonable" person would have noticed it.

With every premises liability case, your own carelessness must be taken into consideration whether it is a:

• Slip and fall
• Dog bite
• Or swimming pool accident

If your carelessness contributed in any way to the accident, then the insurance adjuster will take that into consideration when awarding you compensation. Also, your reason for entering the premises can affect the outcome of your case.

There are three different types of people who can sustain injuries on property and those include:

• Invitees
• Licensees
• Trespassers

What Is Considered an Invitee?

Invitees are people who were welcomed into the premises by the property owner. The manager of the premises is responsible for keeping the area safe for invitees. If there was a dangerous hazard on the premises, then the property manager must properly warn all invitees.

What Is Considered a Licensee?

Licensees are guests who are invited onto the property for social reasons, not for business purposes. The property possessor is expected to exercise reasonable care to make the area safe for licensees and they could be held responsible if a licensee is physically harmed by a dangerous condition on the property.

What Is Considered a Trespasser?

Lastly, trespassers are people who enter the premises without an expressed invitation from the property owner. If the property manager is not aware that a trespasser is on the premises, then they may not be held accountable for any injuries they sustain.
