It’s important to understand that there’s a three-year deadline for filing a slip and fall claim for injuries sustained on someone else’s property. That same deadline applies to claims for property damage arising from a slip and fall.

The Deuterman Law Group can help you by gathering information about the conduct of the property owner and researching the duty they owed to you. We invite you to speak with one of our knowledgeable attorneys about your accident, and find out what options you have to recover damages for your injuries.

Our Experienced Slip and Fall Attorneys Will Fight for You.

What Must Be Proven in a Slip and Fall Claim

In North Carolina, negligence liability of a property owner means that the plaintiff must show that the property owner owed a duty of care, and breached that duty by not fixing/removing the hazardous condition or properly warning of the hazardous condition that caused the slip and fall accident.

These cases also require proof that the property owner knew or should have known, of the dangerous condition and then failed to fix or remove it, or warn the lawful visitor.

In order to successfully bring a slip and fall action in court, a person must present complete evidence of the breach in their case. This can be accomplished in either of two ways:

  • By showing that the owner of the property, or one of his employees or agents, created the hazard or problem that caused you to slip and fall;
    OR
  • By showing that the owner had knowledge of the hazardous condition or should have known of the hazard through a reasonable inspection.

Contributory Negligence

Adding to the complexity of these cases, keep in mind that visitors have a duty to take reasonable precautions to avoid hazardous conditions when on another’s property. North Carolina law says that you can be found to be contributorily negligent if you don’t recognize or avoid a hazardous condition in a slip and fall claim. This standard can make it more difficult to succeed in a North Carolina slip and fall injury case. We’ll discuss contributory negligence with you and determine how to address it, if applicable.
