Description
The principles governing liability of occupiers of premises to their business guests for on the premises injuries are well settled. Such occupier is charged with the duty of establishing and maintaining the premises in a reasonably safe condition. He has the additional duty to warn of any danger of which he is aware or should be aware. He is, however, not an insurer. Liability may not be imposed by the mere fact that one is injured. When complaining of transitory conditions (such as substances on the floor) the burden is on the plaintiff to offer evidence, circumstantial or direct, that such occupier or his employee placed the substance on the floor or that it had been there sufficiently long that he either knew or should have known of its presence. This is a "slip and fall" case governed largely by these principles.
