“Slip-and-fall” is among the more common forms of liability associated with those who operate premises which are open to the public, such as retail businesses.

If you’ve been injured in a slip-and-fall on commercial premises, you must establish a basis of liability by demonstrating that the owner or controller was aware of a hazardous condition on the property, but either failed to resolve it or created it in the first place. Most retail stores offer an “Incident Investigation Form” to be filled out by the victim and signed by the store manager. In this form, you should include:

– Your name, address, and contact information, as well as the contact information of any witnesses – The date, time, and location of the slip-and-fall accident – A brief description of the accident and your resulting injuries
