Slip & Fall
A slip and trip can give rise to a personal injury claim against the owner of the premises if said, is required by law, but fails to keep the property free from possible hazards or refrains from warning people of potential danger which might occur. These hazards include slippery surfaces, areas which are not lighted properly, failure to put up railings or barriers and failure to draw attention to dangerous areas.
Dog Bites

The injured person has a remedy in such a situation against the owner of the animal. The claimant does not have to prove that the owner was negligent or that the animal was under the control of its owner, the owner is liable solely based on the fact of ownership.
