California Slippery Floor Lawyers and Premises Liability Attorneys
Handling Dangerous Property Cases
In California, premises liability cases present serious legal challenges to the injured party. How?
The plaintiff (injured party) must demonstrate that the allegedly negligent party had notice or knew of the dangerous condition(s) prior to the accident, or the negligent party cannot be held responsible for the accident. This legal situation affects supermarket accident cases, generally, as follows:
- If a plaintiff can prove that a store had notice of a hazard such as a slippery floor prior to an accident, the store can be held legally responsible.
- If a store ensures that floors are swept hourly and, in between sweeping, a danger develops, the store likely cannot be held responsible, because it did not know or should not have known that the danger existed.
When a danger is caused by the store and its staff, though, the store can sometimes be held liable even without advanced notice of the harmful condition. For instance, if a store employee drops a piece of fruit and a patron slips on the fruit, the store can likely be held liable, even if the fruit was only on the floor for moments.
