Premises Liability - Falls Rape Assault Drowning

Q: If a customer falls on the store’s premises and hurts himself, does he have a premises liability claim?

A: A store may be liable if a customer slips, trips or falls on the premises of that particular store. For example, if someone slips and falls on a wet floor or any other slick surfaces, snow or ice that has not been cleared where it should have been cleared (in walkways), then the store might be liable if it was aware or should have known about the danger and failed to warn visitors verbally or with a sign or clean it up. Building flaw, incorrect design that leads to less than safe use of the facility or store’s failure to light an area properly can also serve as the basis for a premises liability case.
