slip and Vault cases are unique in the
0:07
in almost every other setting there’s a
0:10
willingness of a jury to say another
0:13
person uh can be the cause of that
0:16
incident and the plaintiff didn’t do
0:19
anything wrong but in in slip and fall
0:22
cases almost every jury and every human
0:25
being comes into an evaluation of a
0:29
premises liability or a slip and fall
0:31
case with the idea that everyone is
0:34
responsible for their own safety that we
0:37
should all be watching where we are
0:39
going and as such there’s a very strong
0:43
possibility that there’s a comparative
0:45
Fault by the uh plaintiff for causing
0:49
their own injury but what my challenge
0:52
then is to do is to uh uh explain and
0:56
present to the jury the idea that you
0:59
can still be responsible for your own
1:02
safety but have circumstances as such
1:05
that you can be distracted by the by the
1:08
circumstances presenting around you that
1:10
results in you not seeing the hazard
1:14
that ultimately results in you falling
1:16
or slipping
