Slip & Fall Accident Cases in North Carolina
Slip and fall accidents fall under the umbrella of “premises law.” This area of law requires property owners to provide a reasonably safe environment for those who visit their premises, such as customers, clients, patrons, and other invitees. Property owners and managers are expected to provide a “duty of care” to these individuals in that, should a property defect or safety hazard arise, they should repair the condition as soon as possible and alert visitors to its dangers in the meantime. They are expected, through ongoing maintenance, to know about any safety risks their premises pose. When they fail to do so, they may be held liable for the injuries their negligence has caused.
Examples of what can cause a slip and fall injury can include:
- Wet, slippery floors
- Icy sidewalks
- Uneven flooring
- Stairways in disrepair
- Potholes
- Cracked and buckled pavements
- Poor or missing lighting
- Cluttered aisles, walkways, and paths
- Overgrown bushes, plants, and trees
Slip and fall accidents can occur due to hazardous conditions on both public and private property, including private residences, apartment buildings, office buildings, retail stores, grocery stores, malls, theaters, restaurants, schools, universities, government buildings, sports arenas, entertainment venues, and more.
