Slip-And-Fall Accidents Lead to Serious Injuries. Our Wilmington Lawyers Can Help.
Last updated on March 12, 2026
Who has legal liability for a slip-and-fall depends on the circumstances. Generally, property owners are responsible for keeping their premises safe for visitors. Slip-and-fall accidents often are the result of property owners falling short in this duty, such as by not clearing icy parking lots and entrances, not cleaning up known spills, or ignoring broken flooring. In such cases, victims can typically pursue premises liability claims against negligent property owners to seek compensation. At Dalton & Associates, P.A., our experienced slip-and-fall lawyers assist individuals who have suffered serious, permanent injuries at supermarkets, stores, restaurants, hotels or other businesses in Wilmington, New Castle County and Delaware.
Proving Property Owner Fault
Showing that a property owner was to blame for a given slip-and-fall accident can be challenging. It requires careful gathering of evidence, such as:
- Surveillance footage
- Incident reports
- Witness statements
- Documentation of possible building code violations
- Expert opinions (in some circumstances)
Our award-winning premises liability attorneys at Dalton & Associates are adept at building effective, evidence-backed arguments to support slip-and-fall insurance claims and lawsuits.
