The Importance of Negligence
There are several questions that must be answered after a slip-and-fall accident. Did the accident occur as the result of a slippery condition? Were signs posted around the hazardous conditions? Did the building management have a reasonable amount of time to fix the condition but failed to do so? Did the slip-and-fall accident occur because of a poorly maintained walkway, staircase or hallway? Have other complaints been filed regarding how dangerous the location is? Why did the property owner fail to post warning signs, cones or tape around the location? There are several other questions that must also be answered.
