Legal Standards for Slip and Fall Compensation in Monroe, NC
Slip and fall law in Monroe, NC, comes from North Carolina law. When someone owns property, they have a legal duty to others. When people enter the property, they have the right to expect the property to be safe. The property owner isn’t expected to prevent all harm, but they must do what’s reasonable.
A reasonable property owner:
- Inspects their property periodically to find fall dangers.
- Assesses potential risk in a reasonable way.
- Addresses problems that could cause a slip and fall.
- Removes clutter and fallen objects.
- Addresses broken flooring or surfaces that are slippery.
- Provides adequate lighting, railings, and guards.
- Controls crowds and access points on their property.
- Warns people of dangers.
- Follows building codes and other regulations.
Initially, you may think that a slip and fall is an accident, but there may be underlying causes and factors that contributed to it. If you’re hurt in a slip and fall, seek medical attention. Then call our attorneys for a consultation about your case.
