If you have been injured in some type of slip and fall or trip and fall type case one of the first questions a lawyer will ask you is “What caused you to fall?” Sometimes liability can be determined by how or what caused you to fall in a rather straightforward manner such as with a defect that has been known to exist for an extended period of time.
