Liability in a Warwick Slip & Fall Injury Claim

Property owners have a responsibility to lawful visitors to keep their premises in a reasonably safe condition. This may include keeping walkways, stairs, and floors clean, well-lit, and free from hazards. In Rhode Island, a property owner may be held legally responsible for a slip and fall accident that occurs on his or her property if:

• The property owner knew or should have known, based on reasonable care, of the dangerous situation;
• The property owner failed to address the dangerous hazard, whether by repairing it or placing a warning sign informing others of the potential hazard; and
• Someone was injured as a result of the property owner’s lack of reasonable care.
