  1. Common Defenses To Your Utah Slip And Fall Claim

  2. Property owners have a legal duty to keep their premises safe so that when people enter their property or come into their business they will not be harmed. Slip and fall accidents often simply result in bumps and bruises. However, they can be very severe and may affect your mental health. Even in severe cases, property owners may have several available defenses to your personal injury claim.

  3. Violation of Statute of Limitations You have a specific deadline to file your claim for a slip and fall accident. Utah will generally only permit you to submit this claim within the first four years after your accident. If you have any property damage associated with the fall, those claims must be asserted within three years from the date that the harm occurred as well.

  4. The Property Owner Did Not Know About the Condition One of the items that you must prove for a successful slip and fall claim is that the property owner recognized the unsafe condition and did nothing to correct it. Showing that the property owner was not doing regular inspections or maintenance may go a long way to prove that they were not maintaining the property effectively.

  5. Shared Fault Another common defense is that you are partially at fault for falling as well. For example, if you were running in a grocery store and slipped on water, you may be partly at fault because you should not have been running. Merely stating that you are not watching where you are going can sometimes undermine your case as well.

  6. Hire An Attorney If you or a family member was injured in a slip and fall accident on someone else’s property, it is a good idea to speak with an experienced Salt Lake City Premises Liability attorney. Although this claims may seem straightforward but they can be tricky.
