Slip And Fall Accident Attorneys

Experienced Premise Liability Lawyers

A slip and fall (trip and fall) accident comes within a specific area of personal injury law known as premises liability. Premises owners, landlords, property managers, and others have a duty under Alabama law to use reasonable care and diligence to keep the premises in a safe condition for business invitees. A business invitee is a person whose presence on the premises provides a material benefit to the landowner. The most often cited example would be a customer of a grocery or retail store. A plaintiff in a slip and fall accident carries a high burden of proof under Alabama law. Generally, a slip and fall plaintiff in Alabama must establish that the premises owner knew or should have known of the defective condition on their premises. For example, this means that the plaintiff must establish that the premises owner knew of the slippery substance on the floor or that there is evidence to establish that they should have known of the dangerous condition. One exception to this requirement is if the dangerous condition is a part of the premises itself or if the premises owner created the hazard.
