In order to be successful in a slip and fall case here in Utah; generally, you will be required to prove two things; You have to show what’s referred to as notice and opportunity.

Slip and fall injuries could include the following scenario. Imagine that you’re shopping at the grocery store. You’re minding your business walking down the aisle picking out your groceries and someone in front of you, just around the corner, knocks a jar of pickles on the floor. Two seconds later, you walk around the corner, slip on the wet floor and fall resulting in injury. The law may protect the grocery store in that scenario. There is really nothing the store owner or management could have done to prevent the accident or your injury.

First, the grocery store didn’t have notice that that mess had been made. Second, they weren’t given a reasonable opportunity to clean it up. So in a slip and fall case, we have to show those two things. First, that they had notice of the situation and second, that sufficient time passed and they failed to remedy the situation.
