Anyone who “controls” a property is responsible for keeping it free from unreasonable dangers. Responsible parties could also include a company, a government agency or individual who leases a property. Here are specific examples of who may be held responsible for a slip-and-fall accident:
-Retail businesses, such as stores, supermarkets, restaurants, movie theaters, gas stations, hotels, pharmacies, malls, car dealerships, hospitals and more
-Landlords, such as owners of apartment buildings, office buildings, shopping centers, parking lots and garages
-Individuals, such as homeowners and landowners
-Governmental agencies who maintain parks, roads, sidewalks, parking lots, streets, train stations and similar facilities
