Slip and Fall Attorney Weatherford TX

Call today to speak with an attorney who knows about slip and fall cases or trip and fall cases. The attorneys at The Law Offices of Matthew M. Vincent in Weatherford know that owners that hold their premises open to the public owe a duty to persons who enter. This includes exercising ordinary care so as not to unnecessarily expose customers to danger or accident, and to keep aisles, passageways and other public parts of the premises in a reasonably safe condition.

Businesses must generally have actual or constructive knowledge of a dangerous condition before liability will be imposed.

This issue frequently arises in cases where a customer slips and falls due to a hazard on the floor of a business open to the public.

Constructive knowledge suffices: Lack of actual knowledge is not a defense, because an owner’s affirmative duty to use care includes inspecting the premises. If the exercise of due care would have revealed the dangerous condition, defendant is liable.

If the hazard that injured the customer was created by the owner’s employees, plaintiff need not prove the owner had actual or constructive knowledge.The business is vicariously liable under respondent superior.
