Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to the most common liability case queries.

What evidence is needed to prove a review is fake?
Strong evidence includes: Proof the reviewer was never a customer (no transaction records). Patterns showing coordinated campaigns (multiple similar reviews from new accounts). Admissions or direct links to a competitor. Technical data like matching IP addresses. Financial records showing lost sales linked to the review period. The business must demonstrate the statement was false, was published to others, caused actual harm (like lost revenue), and was made with at least negligence regarding its truth.
What must a property owner do to prevent slip and fall accidents?
Property owners must take reasonable steps to inspect their premises for hazards and fix them in a timely manner. This includes regular cleaning and maintenance, promptly mopping up spills, repairing cracks or broken flooring, salting icy walkways, and ensuring adequate lighting. For temporary hazards like a wet floor, placing clear warning signs is a crucial step. The law requires proactive care, not just reacting after someone has already been injured.
What if someone slips on a public sidewalk in front of a home or business?
Liability rules for public sidewalks vary significantly by state and city law. In some areas, the adjacent property owner is fully responsible for clearing it. In others, the municipality is responsible. Many jurisdictions have laws that transfer liability to the property owner if they attempt to clear the sidewalk but do a poor job, creating a new hazard. Always check local ordinances to determine the specific duty.
What makes a safety warning legally “bad” or “inadequate”?
A warning is legally inadequate if it fails to clearly tell a reasonable user about the specific danger, the seriousness of potential harm, and proper instructions to avoid it. Vague statements like “use with care” are useless. An effective warning must be prominent, understandable, and explain the nature of the hazard (e.g., “Risk of severe laceration: Keep hands away from blade during operation”). It must also reach the end-user, not just be buried in a manual a customer might never read.
