Understanding Slip and Fall Accidents
Slip and fall accidents are a common occurrence, and they can take place in various settings, including retail stores, restaurants, public sidewalks, private properties, or even workplaces. These accidents typically occur due to hazardous conditions, such as wet floors, uneven surfaces, poor lighting, or debris left unattended.
In the aftermath of a slip and fall accident, victims often face not only physical pain but also emotional distress and financial burdens. Medical bills can pile up, and lost wages can make it challenging to make ends meet. Fortunately, the legal system provides a way for victims to seek compensation for their injuries and losses.
Determining Liability in Slip and Fall Cases
Proving liability is a crucial aspect of any slip and fall case. To hold a property owner or occupier responsible, you must demonstrate the following:
- Duty of Care: The property owner or occupier owed you a duty of care to keep the premises safe for visitors.
- Breach of Duty: There was a breach of this duty, which means they failed to maintain a safe environment.
- Causation: The hazardous condition directly caused your injuries.
- Damages: You suffered damages, such as medical expenses, lost wages, or pain and suffering, as a result of the accident.

"I can not speak highly enough"
I can not speak highly enough for the experience I have received from Cogan & Power Attorneys at Law. I was introduced to John Power through a mural friend. I was impressed from the very first phone call with John Power to us meeting through the pandemic. His professionalism and his medical knowledge is unbelievable… I have to say from that day moving forward John Power, Sara Davis and Kim Stefanek all put me at ease. My cases lasted just about 3 years and I was notified every step of the way on what was going forward and keeping me in the loop. John and Sara made sure that I was ready and comfortable for my Deposition, they made sure every stone was unturned! Kim Stefanek is one of their paralegals and she is awesome. I can go and I highly recommend Cogan & Power for your legal issues. John Power & Sara Davis are amazing attorneys and exceptional, caring, compassionate people!!
