California Slip-and-Fall Rule
January 2, 2002
The California Supreme Court ruled last week that storeowners may be liable for hazardous conditions on their property if the dangerous item is not removed within a reasonable amount of time. The ruling involved a slip and fall accident at a California Kmart. Richard Ortega filed suit when he injured his knee after slipping on a puddle of milk inside the store. The court's decision still requires that California slip-and-fall injury victims prove that the defendant failed to act in a reasonable manner.
