If you or someone you love has been hurt in a slip and fall incident at another person's house or business, you might be able to hold the owner of the property liable for your injuries. A tenant or visitor on a property must prove that the property owner was reckless or negligent and, as a result, caused the injury.

Filing a personal injury lawsuit may allow you to recover medical costs, lost wages, as well as receive compensation for disfigurement, pain, permanent disabilities, or emotional distress.

As a slip and fall plaintiff, you generally have to prove that the property owners either didn't properly take care of the property, created unsafe conditions on the property that resulted in you getting hurt, or was aware that there were hazardous conditions on the property but did not bother to tell tenants or visitors. Whether the unsafe condition was temporary or permanent will make a huge difference to the case. The duration of time that an unsafe temporary condition existed on a property can affect your ability to prove slip and fall liability.
