A Slip and Fall is a Type of Premises Liability Claim
In Pennsylvania, businesses and property owners have a responsibility to keep their premises in reasonably safe condition—and that duty includes the identification and removal of slip and fall hazards. A slip and fall claim is a type of premises liability case.
How to Prove Liability for a Slip and Fall Accident in Gettysburg
Under Pennsylvania law, proving liability for a slip and fall accident requires establishing negligence on the part of the business or property owner. Here are some of the most notable elements:
- Lawful Presence on Premises: With very limited exceptions, trespassers cannot bring a slip and fall accident claim in Pennsylvania.
- A Dangerous Condition Existed: You must prove that there was a hazard—such as a wet floor, broken step, or unmarked slippery spot.
- The Property Owner Knew or Should Have Known: Next, liability typically depends on whether the owner had actual or constructive knowledge of the danger.
- Actual Harm Caused By Hazard: Finally, you must prove that you suffered actual physical injuries as a result of the slip and fall hazard.
**Note: **Pennsylvania is a modified comparative negligence state (42 P.S. § 7102). An injured victim can still recover compensation if partially at fault for their own slip and fall, as long as their fault does not exceed 50 percent. Their compensation will be reduced proportionately.
