Liability in a Slip and Fall Accident
A slip and fall injury lawyer with Ben Crump, PLLC will evaluate your accident, injuries, and damages. The burden of proof is on you to show that it is more likely than not that the other party is liable using four conditions of liability:

- The other party breached this duty of care in some manner
- The other party caused your injuries by failing to uphold this duty of care
- The other party should compensate you for damages brought on by your injuries
