Is the business liable for injuries I received for an ice slip and fall?

A lot of people think if they slip and fall or trip and fall at a business, that the business owner is automatically liable for their injuries. This is simply not correct. You still need to prove that the business owner was negligent and did something wrong that would have caused you or contributed to the fall. It is not enough to show that during winter it was icy or snowy; we are all use to bad weather conditions including slippery driving conditions during winter. You need to show that not only it was icy or snowy, but that the business owner knew that it was icy or snowy for a sufficient period of time and did nothing to correct or remedy the problem; most insurance companies routinely deny these claims and a person injured in such an accident is faced with having to start a lawsuit. Unless the injuries are serious, most personal injury lawyers don't like to pursue these cases, because they are so difficult to prove and extremely difficult to win in front of a jury.
