Why Are These Cases Important?
When you go somewhere, you should not have to worry about a slip and fall incident happening. When you have the right to be somewhere, whether as a patron or invited guest, it is not up to you to have to check the floor to ensure there are no hazards.
- Property owners and their employees are responsible for providing a safe environment.
