There are many potential defendants in a slip and fall accident. Some of the people and entities that might share liability for causing your harm and paying for your losses include: 

Business Owners

Business owners are required to safely maintain their property. If an accident happens in a commercial setting, like a store or restaurant, then the owner might be responsible for any hazardous conditions on the premises. 

Property Owners

Homeowners and other property owners must keep their property safe from dangers for their visitors. Property owners are typically responsible for the accident if they fail to maintain safe conditions on their property. 

Management Companies

If the property is managed by a third party, such as a property management company, the company could also share liability for maintenance issues. 

Insurance Companies

Business and property owners typically have liability insurance policies. The insurance company might cover claims for slip and fall accidents. 

Determining the proper liable parties is the first challenging step in the legal process. Often, legal relationships between employees, companies, landlords, tenants, and more play a role in these determinations. You need a skilled slip and fall attorney who can examine all involved parties and file the necessary insurance claims.
