A property owner is liable for a slip and fall when they were negligent: a dangerous condition existed, they knew or should have known about it, they failed to fix it or warn you, and that caused your injury. Simply falling on someone's property is not enough by itself.
Negligence is the failure to use reasonable care that harms someone. To win, a plaintiff must prove four elements: duty, breach, causation, and damages. Comparative or contributory negligence rules then adjust or bar recovery.
