Greenville Slip and Fall Lawyer

Slip and fall accidents in Greenville, Ohio can cause serious injuries — from broken bones to traumatic brain injuries. Property owners have a legal duty to maintain safe conditions for visitors. When they fail to do so, they can be held liable for your injuries. The Henry Law Firm represents slip and fall victims throughout Darke County and fights for the compensation they deserve.

Ohio law imposes different duties of care depending on your classification as a visitor. Invitees (customers, business visitors) are owed the highest duty of care — property owners must inspect for hazards and fix or warn about dangerous conditions. Licensees (social guests) must be warned of known hazards.

• Wet or slippery floors — spills, mopping without warning signs
• Icy sidewalks and parking lots — especially during Ohio winters
• Uneven or broken flooring, sidewalks, and stairs
• Poor lighting in walkways, stairwells, and parking areas
• Loose rugs or mats without proper backing
• Missing or broken handrails
• Cluttered walkways and aisles
• Construction debris or unmarked hazards

How do I prove a slip and fall case in Greenville?

You must show that the property owner knew (or should have known) about the hazardous condition, failed to fix it or warn about it, and that the hazard directly caused your injuries. Evidence includes incident reports, surveillance footage, witness statements, and photographs. The Henry Law Firm will investigate and build a strong case for you.

What if I was partially responsible for my slip and fall?

Ohio's comparative negligence law (Ohio Revised Code § 2315.33) allows you to recover damages even if you were partially at fault, as long as your fault is 50% or less. For example, if you were 10% at fault and your damages are $100,000, you would receive $90,000.

How long do I have to file a slip and fall claim in Ohio?

The statute of limitations is two years from the date of the accident (Ohio Revised Code § 2305.10). However, you should report the incident and contact an attorney as soon as possible to preserve evidence.
