Duty of care
Property owners must keep their premises reasonably safe for visitors and warn of hidden dangers.
Notice of the hazard
You generally need to show the owner knew, or should have known, about the dangerous condition and failed to fix it.
Evidence that matters
Photos of the hazard, incident reports, witness statements, and medical records all strengthen your claim. Contact an attorney quickly — evidence like surveillance footage can disappear.
