Proving the owner should have known
A successful premises liability claim usually turns on notice: did the owner know, or should the owner have known, about the dangerous condition and fail to fix it. Wet floors without warning signs, unsalted ice, broken stairs, poor lighting, and torn carpeting are all common culprits.
These cases require prompt investigation, because the hazard is often cleaned up or repaired within hours. We move quickly to preserve the evidence that proves what happened.
