Where these accidents happen
Grocery stores, restaurants, big-box retailers, hotels, apartment complexes, parking lots, sidewalks, stairwells, swimming pool decks, and construction zones.
What you have to prove
Generally, that the property owner knew (or should have known) about a dangerous condition and failed to fix it or warn you. That sounds simple but it's often a fight — surveillance video, witness statements, and incident reports matter enormously, and they can disappear quickly.
What to do right away
Report the fall to the property owner or manager and ask for a written incident report. Take photos of the hazard and your injuries before anything is cleaned up or repaired. Get the names of any witnesses. See a doctor — soft-tissue and head injuries can worsen days later.
