Slip and fall accidents are incredibly common, and they can lead to serious, sometimes life-altering injuries. If you or someone you love has been hurt because a property owner failed to maintain safe conditions, you may be entitled to pursue compensation for your losses. Seeking legal guidance early and working closely with an experienced Tennessee slip and fall lawyer is one of the best steps you can take to protect your rights and support your recovery.
Do I Have A Slip & Fall Case?
After a slip and fall accident, victims wonder if they even have merit to file a claim to seek the compensation they need and deserve. If you’ve been injured due to the negligence of a property owner, the answer is likely yes. If liability can be established based on negligence, carelessness, or intentional conduct, a case likely exists. To get specific information on your potential claim, it’s advisable to consult a personal injury lawyer. However, we’ll address general liability in a slip and fall case in this section.
In Tennessee, filing a negligence claim is based on four elements:
Duty
A negligence claim must establish that a property owner had a duty or obligation to create and maintain a safe environment for customers or visitors.
Breach of Duty
Once duty has been established, a negligence claim must prove that the defendant breached that duty putting the victim in danger of sustaining the injuries that occurred.
Causation
The defendant’s negligence must be directly linked to the injuries sustained by the victim.
Damages
Lastly, a negligence claim must establish that a victim suffered tangible, real losses as a result of the accident.
These four elements will be established by collecting important evidence, which we will discuss below.
