In every state, property owners are responsible for maintaining a safe premise for everyone to be on. If a property owner fails to ensure that there are no hazards present, someone can become very seriously injured. Ultimately, the injured party may be able to take legal action against the owner of the property in an effort to recover the cost of medical bills, lost wages, and compensation for other burdens caused by the accident. If you or a loved one has been injured as a result of a property owner’s negligence and would like to discuss your legal options, it is important to retain the services of an experienced personal injury attorney. The legal team at Markey & Orsi understands how difficult life after an accident can be and is ready to fight on your behalf. Contact our Baltimore County slip and fall attorneys today.

What You Have to Prove in a Maryland Slip and Fall Case
Winning a slip and fall claim takes more than showing you were hurt on someone’s property. You generally must prove the owner knew, or reasonably should have known, about the hazard and failed to fix it or warn you. A puddle that just formed is treated differently than one a store ignored for hours.
Maryland also follows contributory negligence, one of the harshest fault rules in the country. If you are found even one percent at fault, you can be barred from recovering anything, so expect the defense to argue you should have seen the danger. This is why documenting the scene early matters so much.
