I cannot thank them enough, and I highly recommend them to anyone who wants excellent and proactive representation.

Understanding Ohio Slip and Fall Accidents on Commercial Property

It is common for people to slip and fall on commercial property, especially in crowded or busy areas. Several factors can cause a person to slip and fall on commercial property, including wet floors, poorly lit areas, torn carpeting, or unsafe conditions caused by weather. 

If you fall on commercial property and it’s not your fault, the property owner could be held liable for your injuries. Depending on the situation, the party leasing the space, a maintenance company, or a customer could also be responsible.

Proving that the business owner was at fault can sometimes be challenging. It depends on whether the business owner acted carefully to prevent accidents and whether the person who fell paid attention to the conditions. 

To prove that the accident was the business owner’s fault, the victim must have evidence of a “dangerous condition.” A “dangerous condition” is an unreasonable risk that the individual should not have expected under the circumstances. To establish proof of a “dangerous condition,” you must show one of the following:

  1. The owner created the condition
  2. The owner knew about the condition and did not fix it
  3. The condition existed long enough that the owner should have corrected it before the accident

A person may also prove the business owner’s fault if they can show that a relevant statute was violated. For example, the owner ignored safety requirements listed in building codes.
