Challenges Posed by Alabama Law for Slip & Fall Accident Cases
The rules for attributing liability in slip and fall accidents vary from state to state. Unlike most states, Alabama uses a “contributory negligence” rule, which requires that the property owner was completely responsible for the accident. If the property owner’s insurance company can show that you bear some responsibility for your accident, you may not be able to recover compensation.
The other side may try to pin the blame on you by asserting that:
- You were distracted and not paying attention while walking
- Your footwear was not appropriate or unsafe
- Signs were posted or the dangerous area was roped off
- You were in an area where visitors are not permitted
- The dangerous condition was obvious and steps were taken to prevent accidents
