Legal Answers
Q. What is slip and fall action?
A: A slip and fall action is a type of personal injury lawsuit commonly filed by customers who has been injured after slipping and falling on a business owner’s property. Owners or possessors of land have a duty to keep the property safe to prevent harm to those who enter the land lawfully. Therefore, to prevail in a slip and fall case, the plaintiff must usually show that the property owner had notice or knowledge of the dangerous condition and to remove the condition or warn others about the condition within a reasonable amount of time.
Q. What is contributory negligence?
A: Contributory negligence is a defense to negligence where by a defendant alleges that the plaintiff’s actions created an unreasonable risk to his or her own safety. When a plaintiff acts unreasonably to contribute to his or her injury, that plaintiff may be found wholly or partially responsible for the injury, even though the defendant may have been the actual cause of the plaintiff’s injury.
Q. What is comparative negligence?
A: Traditionally, a finding that a plaintiff’s negligence contributed in any way to his injury completely barred any recovery of damages. Over time, states began to view this approach to contributory negligence as excessively harsh and unfair to plaintiffs and adopted the “comparative negligence” approach to contributory negligence.

Under this modern approach, there are two systems: pure comparative fault systems and modified comparative fault systems. In a pure comparative fault system, a plaintiff will always recover damages, even if she is 99% at fault. However, the plaintiff’s recovery is reduced by damages for which she is responsible. In states that use a modified comparative system, like the pure comparative fault system, a plaintiff’s recovery is reduced by damages for which she is responsible. But if the plaintiff’s negligence is assigned a greater percentage than the defendant’s fault (usually 50% or 51%), the plaintiff cannot recover any damages. ... Read More
