Premises cases, such as slip/trip and fall accidents, are notoriously difficult in Indiana. The issues that arise in the context of a premises case are complex, and often involve significant issues of comparative fault. However, whether the property where you were hurt was owned privately, by a commercial business, or by the government, the owner of the property owes a duty to exercise reasonable care for the safety of the owner’s invitees.
In addition, different types of evidence are required than in other types of personal injury cases. You must be able to identify a dangerous or defective condition on the property and be able to prove its existence.

Examples of dangerous conditions include:
• Untreated snow and ice
• Wet floors
• Wrinkled, torn, or loose carpeting/rugs
• Uneven flooring
• Bad lighting
• Missing or broken handrails on stairs
• Broken steps
• Cracked sidewalks
• Potholes in parking lots
