A property owner is responsible for maintaining his or her property. When a property owner fails to do so and someone is injured, the property owner may be held accountable for the injury. If you have been injured on another person's property, our slip and fall accident and premises liability attorneys in the Salt Lake City, Utah area can review the facts of your case and determine if you are eligible to receive monetary compensation for your accident. Although each case is different, the attorneys of Siegfried & Jensen have compiled a list of frequently asked questions concerning premises liability.
Premises liability refers to the responsibility of the owner or manager of a property to make sure it is a safe environment for people who use it, including children and workers.

Slip and fall accidents commonly occur at work. However, slip and fall accidents can also occur on private property as well as government-owned land; this type of slip and fall accident falls under the category of premises liability.

This depends on where it occurs. Because of workers’ compensation laws, workers who are injured on the job are usually covered by their employers. Accidents that occur on private property are a different matter. In such cases, it is generally the property owner who is responsible for the slip and fall accident. Since each slip and fall accident is unique, our premises liability attorneys in Utah will evaluate the facts of your case and will help you decide the best way to proceed.

A trespasser is a person who enters a property without authorization. Although a landowner is not typically responsible for paying for the injuries of a trespasser, there is one case in which a land owner can be held liable for damages to a trespasser: if the land owner purposefully injures a trespasser, he or she may be held liable. The only exception to this is if the landowner was exercising self-defense.

In order for you to be awarded compensation in a slip and fall case, the property owner must be found to have been negligent. If the property owner was negligent, and you sustained serious injuries from your accident, the premises liability attorneys at the law firm of Siegfried & Jensen may be able to help you recover monetary compensation.

Victims are usually entitled to recover all medical costs pertaining directly to the accident. A monetary award for pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and lost wages may also be recovered.
