If a person suffers serious injuries or wrongful death in a slip and fall incident on another person’s business premises, most families assume that they will prevail at trial for the death of their loved one. However, slip and fall accident victims may face legal and factual obstacles. There are a number of factors that affect the likely outcome in a slip and fall accident and can make it more difficult to prevail in a settlement or at trial. A recent example is Klairmont v. Gainsboro Restaurant Inc., a case in which a Northeastern University student had a fatal fall on the stairs of a Boston bar.
