Understanding Slip and Fall Accidents in Ohio
Slip and fall accidents occur when someone is injured due to unsafe conditions on someone else’s property. These conditions may include wet floors, uneven sidewalks, loose carpeting, poor lighting, or icy walkways. Ohio property owners and businesses are required to maintain their premises in a reasonably safe condition. When they fail to do so, they may be held responsible for injuries caused by their negligence. However, Ohio law also requires injured individuals to show that the property owner knew about or should have known about the hazard that caused the fall and failed to address it.
