Slip-and-fall accidents can happen anywhere and often result in serious injuries that impact your ability to work, enjoy daily activities and maintain your quality of life. Whether you fall in a grocery store, office building, or nursing home, these accidents frequently occur due to property owner negligence rather than simple clumsiness.
At Knoll Leibel LLP, we understand how slip-and-fall injuries devastate North Dakota families. With nearly 40 years of combined experience handling premises liability cases throughout the Bismarck area, our lawyers understand how to hold negligent property owners accountable for maintaining safe conditions for visitors and customers.
Common Causes Of Slip-And-Fall Accidents
Slip-and-fall accidents in North Dakota occur due to various hazardous conditions that property owners have a legal duty to address. Common causes include:
- Wet floors from spilled liquids, recent mopping or freshly waxed surfaces without warning signs
- Uneven surfaces including torn carpeting, loose floorboards, parking lot potholes, cluttered walkways and defective sidewalks
- Weather conditions like rain, ice and snow that create slippery surfaces without proper maintenance
- Poorly designed stairways with inadequate lighting, missing handrails or irregular step heights that create tripping hazards
- Nursing home neglect occurs when seniors are left unattended or not properly monitored, leading to preventable falls
- Improper workplace training: A lot of slip-and-fall incidents occur in the workplace. If employers don’t provide adequate training to their workers, they may be at fault when a slip-and-fall accident does happen
These hazardous conditions demonstrate property owner negligence when they fail to maintain safe premises or warn visitors of known dangers.
Your Rights In Premises Liability Cases
North Dakota property owners have a legal obligation to maintain reasonably safe conditions for visitors and customers. When they fail to meet this duty, slip-and-fall victims can pursue compensation for their injuries and related damages.
Successful premises liability claims require proving that the property owner knew or should have known about the dangerous condition and failed to address it within a reasonable time frame. Slip-and-fall victims may recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and ongoing rehabilitation costs.
