Under Wisconsin premises liability law, property owners and occupiers have a duty to keep their premises reasonably safe for visitors. This duty applies to both public and private property, including businesses, residential buildings, and government facilities.
The specific responsibilities of a property owner depend on the status of the visitor—whether they are an invitee, licensee, or trespasser.
Most slip and fall cases involve invitees, such as customers at a store or guests at a hotel. Property owners owe invitees the highest duty of care, which includes:
Failure to take these reasonable steps may expose the property owner to liability if someone is injured on their premises.
Even when a hazard is open and obvious, property owners may still be held partially responsible if they fail to make the condition safe or if their actions increase the risk of harm.
Understanding these responsibilities is essential in proving negligence in a slip and fall claim.
Slip and fall accidents can happen anywhere—from grocery stores and restaurants to apartment complexes and public sidewalks. Some of the most common causes of these accidents include:
Property owners have a legal obligation to address these hazards in a timely manner. When they fail to do so, they may be liable for injuries that occur on their premises.
Wisconsin’s statute of limitations gives you three years from the date of your slip and fall accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. If your loved one tragically passed away from injuries sustained in a fall, you also have three years from the date of death to file a wrongful death lawsuit.
Failing to file within these deadlines can permanently bar you from recovering compensation, no matter how strong your case may be. That’s why it’s critical to speak with an experienced attorney as soon as possible after your accident.
Slip and fall accidents can be devastating—physically, emotionally, and financially. At Eisenberg Law Offices, S.C., we are committed to helping injury victims in Columbia County, Wisconsin, hold negligent property owners accountable.
