Premises liability, slip and fall, or trip and fall cases can be among the most difficult of the personal injury cases in which to prove liability or fault. This is because your lawyer must be able to prove that the store, or person/business which controlled the premises knew of the problem or, should have known about the problem - in other words that they had "notice" of the defect which caused the slip and fall. An additional difficulty in proving a trip and fall case is that often the business or person who controlled the premises will claim that you should have seen the substance and avoided it. Consequently, proving negligence is a difficult task. San Diego slip and fall attorney Jeffrey R.
