Contact A Slip And Fall Lawyer For Your Premises Liability Case

Some states distinguish between various types of “entrants” to a property such as invitees, licensees, or trespassers.  With these statutes, a property owner’s duties vary according to the type of entrant.  However, the most common legal standard is “reasonableness under the circumstances” regarding any case and set of circumstances.  This is where a slip and fall lawyer who has experience in premises liability can help if you are injured.
