Any slip-and-fall on someone else’s property could be grounds for a lawsuit if the property owner failed to maintain the property for their invited guests and patrons. Some of the more common causes of slip-and-fall accidents seen in Washington civil courts include:

  • Snow and ice accidents
  • Wet floors
  • Uneven floors
  • Broken pavement
  • Elevator and escalator accidents

  • Ladder accidents
  • Stair accidents

These are only a few of the more common causes of slip-and-fall accidents in Washington. If you have fallen in another way, and the property owner’s negligence is the cause, you may still be entitled to financial compensation. Contact our office to find out how much your claim could be worth.

Shared Fault and Washington Premises Liability Laws

It is not uncommon for individuals to share fault for their injuries. Under Washington law, sharing fault for your injuries does not prevent you from being awarded compensation. This is because Washington follows a pure comparative fault laws. However, you can expect your portion of fault to be deducted from your injury settlement. 

If you were found to be, say, twenty-five percent culpable for causing your injuries, you could expect twenty-five percent to be deducted from your award. For this reason, it is critical you have an experienced premises liability attorney on your side. This may be one of the few ways to ensure your portion of fall is fairly assessed.
