I am a small business person. What can I do to reduce my chances of becoming involved in a slip and fall lawsuit?
Monitor your business property for potentially dangerous or hazardous conditions. Water, ice and snow are often the cause of injuries, so be careful if your property has those conditions. If your property has other defects that could cause someone to trip and fall, repair them.
Some insurance carriers will provide a free consultation to reduce potential hazards on your property. You may also want to have an architect or contractor walk through your property if you feel that it may contain hazards. (If you take any of the above steps, however, don't ignore the expert's suggestions. Remember, you're on notice!) Of course, if there have been accidents on your property you are also on notice should there later be a similar accident.
