Slip and falls are some of the hardest cases for plaintiffs to win in Tennessee. In order to win, one of the key elements the plaintiff my prove is that the premises owner knew or should have known of the hazard. You also have to show that you, the person who is injured, should not have seen or noticed the condition, especially if it is “open and obvious”.
In my eleven years of handling insurance claims, I handled quite a few slip and fall claims. Only a few truly seemed valid. Here’s a recent case where the plaintiff was unsuccessful in proving the above.
