Owners and managers of premises are responsible for taking reasonable measures to ensure the safety of visitors to the site...(the people in charge are responsible)

Pedestrian accidents such as slip and fall, trip and fall, and escalator accidents are embarrassing for the person who suffers them. As a result, rather than taking witness names and statements and filing an injury report with the building management the injured person may attempt to go on as if everything is alright. However, if a food spill in a grocery aisle was left unattended because of poor oversight, debris littered a construction site, an icy parking lot was left without being cleared in a timely manner, or an escalator was not properly maintained, then the management of the building or property is responsible for fall injuries resulting from the neglect. If you or someone you know fell in a retail store, a business establishment, or on a municipal sidewalk, take the following measures:

• get pictures of the site from all angles
• get the names and contact information from witnesses
• file a report with the property manager
• see a doctor for treatment
• contact a slip and fall accident attorney

At the offices of our Personal Injury law firm David Allen & Associates, in Nevada and California, slip and fall accident attorneys will be happy to provide you with a free consultation and case evaluation. It is important to begin the process as soon as you realize you are injured, so you can have any claim filed before the statute of limitations for liability runs out.

Slip and fall matters are difficult to resolve. There is a legal requirement known as "notice." The person who fell must show that the store (or premesis owner) knew, or should have reasonably known, a hazardous condition existed, and did not seek to repair or warn users about it."

Other Personal Injury claims covered under personal or business liability policies may involve swimming pool accidents, playground falls, injuries from falling debris, dog bites, or assaults due to inadequate security. If you were injured on someone else’s private premises or on business or public property, and that injury could have been prevented with proper care, you may have a premises liability claim.
