Answers to Personal Injury, Wrongful Death, and Car Accident Questions
Q: Do I have a personal injury claim if I slip and fall at a private residence?
A: Yes, depending on the facts and circumstances. You can have a viable slip and fall claim no matter where the accident happens.
In order to have a viable slip and fall claim, you must have been injured by a dangerous condiiton on the property that the property owner either knew about or should have known about (had notice of) prior to the accident and the property owner failed to fix the dangerous condition or warn others about it so that they could avoid injury.
Typically, slip and fall cases happen in public either at stores, restaurants, or on sidewalks. However, a slip and fall case can happen, and you can have a valid personal injury action, on a private residence such as during a party, a get together, or simply visiting a neighbor.
