Injuries resulting from Dangerous Conditions on Public or Private Property may be Compensable
Reasonable Management
The landholder's liability for such injuries is contingent upon whether he or she has acted as a reasonable person in the management of the property, by avoiding exposure of those on the land to unreasonable risks of harm. If a business or land owner has not made a reasonable effort to provide for the safety of his or her guests, he has likely violated a legal duty. This may come from a failure to remove obstacles or hazards from the premises; or a failure to warn guests of such a dangerous condition within a reasonable time. The 'hustle and bustle' of holiday shopping season can often lead to oversight of dangerous conditions; such as product displays which are constructed hastily and without consideration of risks of danger, or store items which are strewn about walking areas by customers. http://www.safety-engineer.com/complex.htm
Slip and Fall
The Proverbial 'slip and fall' is the most common injury to occur from such conditions; but such an incident should not necessarily be disregarded as an accident. Serious injuries resulting from the negligent conduct of store employees or landholders may be compensable through civil action. Such legal duties correspond to the privilege of conducting business on one's property, and are ancillary to a consumers right to conduct business in a safe environment. The duty of a landholder to act reasonably in the management of his or her property should not be disregarded out of embarrassment of one's own mishap, or because of a mere appeasement offered by property managers. The attorneys at the Law Offices of Drivon, Turner and Waters are resolute in their dedication to consumer rights and protection.
