A slip and fall, otherwise known as a trip and fall, is a fall that results when a person slips because of some hazardous condition, ultimately causing their injury. Slip and falls can take place because of ice, snow, rain, wet floors, obstructions, or bad lighting. Generally speaking, these instances of slip and fall take place on another person's property, not on the injured person's property. As a result, the subject of liability is commonly raised. According to the law of premises liability, the owner of property indeed can be held liable for certain injuries that take place on their property. The owner's liability often times depends on negligence, measured by if there was a breach of duty and by the reasonable care standard. If, for example, the owner of an amusement park leaves an icy area open to the public, he will first breach his duty to ensure customer safety, as well as violate the reasonable person standard by not erecting a warning sign. If the plaintiff is truly injured and sues successfully, compensatory damages can be given for lost wages, medical damages, and pain and suffering.
