Who is At Fault for a Slip and Fall Accident? Who is liable for your injuries if you trip and fall depends on where you were and what you were doing at the time of the accident.  WORKPLACE If you slipped and fell on the job, you should be able to file a claim for workers' compensation to cover your medical bills and other costs. If your employer failed to take the necessary precautions to ensure that your workplace complied with safety standards, you may be eligible for additional compensation for your injuries.  PRIVATE PROPERTY The owner is always in charge of keeping their property safe. According to a legal concept called "premise liability," if you slip and fall on someone else's private property, you might be entitled to compensation. These rights may change based on why you were on the property in the first place, for example: -Licensee -Invitee -Social Guest -Trespasser In the event of a slip-and-fall accident, your rights and who is liable may be determined by the reason you were on the property to begin with. PUBLIC PROPERTY When people slip and fall on public or government property, they are treated the same way as when they do so on private property. You have to show that the property was dangerous and that you were allowed to be there when the accident happened.  Our clinic is on Oak Hill Court, next to Houston Dental.
