It is the responsibility of a person who owns, leases, occupies, or controls property to maintain the property in a reasonably safe condition. If a business owner, property owner, landlord, or other occupant does not maintain their property in a reasonably safe manner, and as a result the property becomes unsafe to a visitor who is then injured as a result of that condition, the victim may be entitled to compensation. A slip or trip and fall accident has to be looked at carefully to determine whether a claim exists. Sometimes there is a lack of signage in hazardous situations like when an area is under construction or the floors are wet. Other times the hazard is due to poor upkeep or maintenance of the property.

The answer to this question depends on a few factors, including the exact circumstances of the accident and what state you live in. In California a property owner, landlord, or other occupant is negligent in the use or maintenance of their property if a condition on the property created an unreasonable risk of harm, they knew or, through
the exercise of reasonable care, should have known about it; and they failed to repair the condition, protect against the harm from the condition, or give adequate warning of the condition. It's important to speak with an experienced attorney who can help you navigate the legal process and ensure that you receive the compensation you deserve.
If you slip and fall, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible for any injuries you suffered. You should also take pictures of the scene of the accident, report the incident to the business owner if it occurred at a business, and get the contact information of any witnesses. This will be important evidence if you decide to file a
personal injury claim.
