Slip & Fall Injuries - Premises Liability - Delaware
Let’s face it. People fall and get hurt. But if you want to hold someone else accountable, it’s important to contact a Delaware slip and fall attorney. Most people think if they fall down and see something on the ground near where they fell, that’s all they need to prove when they go to Court. It’s actually much more complicated than that.
Let’s consider some of the arguments the property owner will make in court. Here’s a short list of what we hear in slip and fall cases:
1. The accident was the customer’s fault.
2. There wasn’t anything dangerous or defective on the property.
3. If there was something dangerous or defective, the owner didn’t know that it existed.
4. The owner knew about the dangerous condition, and he took reasonable steps to warn his customers.
5. Even if the owner didn’t put up a warning, the customer should have discovered the dangerous condition.
