Slip and fall injuries might seem simple, but in North Carolina, these cases are anything but. In this episode of The Verdict, we’re joined by Jeff Watson, Senior Managing Attorney at Speaks Law Firm, to break down why premises liability cases are among the most difficult personal injury claims to win.
Find out the legal standards that make these cases challenging: the danger must not be obvious to the injured person, yet obvious enough that the property owner should have known and fixed it. You’ll also learn how video evidence, spoliation letters, and proving “reasonable opportunity to act” all play into a successful case.
Here’s what we discuss in this episode:
⚖️ Why slip and fall cases are tough to prove in North Carolina
🕵️♂️ What evidence matters most (and how to preserve it)
🏗️ The difference between minor falls and industrial premises cases
🤝 How injury and workers’ comp teams work together for clients
