Frequently Asked Questions
How do you prove the property owner was negligent?
By showing they knew or should have known about the hazard—through surveillance, maintenance records, and prior complaints.

Lack of warning signs helps prove negligence, but isn't required. We must show they had notice of the hazard.
How long did the hazard have to exist?
Long enough that the owner should have discovered and fixed it through reasonable inspection. Minutes may be too short; hours typically establishes notice.
