Comparative Fault in Slip and Fall Cases

Expect shared-fault arguments

Property insurers frequently argue the injured person was distracted by a phone, ignored a cone, or wore inappropriate shoes. Clear photos of lighting and the hazard’s visibility help respond to those themes.

Cones and warning signs

A cone in the wrong place, or a sign facing away from traffic flow, may not equal an adequate warning. Photograph sign orientation.

Settlements still require evidence

Even when fault may be shared, medical documentation and hazard proof influence negotiation. Educational sites cannot assign percentages to your incident.
