Pratfalls are only funny in the movies. In real life, slip and fall accidents are a significant cause of injury — and of litigation. That’s an expensive proposition for property owners and their insurance companies, who often have to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to compensate plaintiffs for their medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
At the heart of the issue is negligence: did the property owner do everything in his power to prevent the accident? In most cases there is no way for defendants to “prove a negative,” and they settle out of court rather than risk lengthy and expensive trials. But property owners can protect themselves from unreasonable lawsuits by conducting regular mobile inspections that demonstrate their commitment to safety.
