Property owners and occupiers have a legal duty to keep their premises reasonably safe. When they fail — leaving wet floors unmarked, failing to clear ice, ignoring broken walkways, or maintaining poor lighting — and someone is injured as a result, they can be held liable for the full cost of that injury. Our slip and fall attorneys know how to build these cases and overcome the defenses property owners raise.
Elements of a Slip and Fall Claim
To recover in a Utah slip and fall case, you must establish: the property owner knew or should have known about the dangerous condition; they failed to remedy it or warn about it; and this failure caused your injury. We investigate promptly to document the hazard before it is repaired, gather surveillance footage, and identify witnesses.
Common Slip and Fall Locations
Grocery stores and retail establishments, apartment complexes and rental properties, hotels and restaurants, government buildings and public sidewalks, and construction sites are among the most common locations for slip and fall injuries. Each involves different standards of care and liability rules.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I prove the property owner knew about the hazard?
We use several methods: prior incident reports, maintenance logs, surveillance footage showing how long the condition existed, employee statements, and inspection records. Often the evidence is in the property owner's own records — we subpoena it.
What if I was partially at fault for the fall?
Utah's comparative fault rules apply to slip and fall cases. As long as you are less than 50% at fault, you can recover damages reduced by your percentage of fault. We present your case to minimize fault attribution to you.
