Slip and falls can be serious
The legal term for slip-and-fall accidents is premises liability suits. If you own property that poses an unreasonable danger to people who visit the premises, you are liable for the injuries that result.

In true slip-and-fall cases, the owner of the property could have prevented injury by taking reasonable precautions: putting up warning signs by the spill, providing security cameras in the parking ramp, replacing a light bulb, shoveling the snow from the walk, etc.
