Slip and and fall cases commonly referred to as premises liability are difficult cases. You must have some powerful evidence to win. In slip and fall cases , the superior knowledge of the condition of the premises possessed by the owner triggers liability. Before the owner of the property is liable for negligently allowing a dangerous condition to exist on the premises, one must establish one of the following:”1) the condition was caused or created by the owner,operator,or his agent,or (2) if the condition was created by someone other than the owner, operator , and or his agent that the the owner had actual or constructive notice that the condition existed prior to the accident.
