Homeowner liability cases involving a delivery person or utility worker are actually very common. Even though the individual was on the job at the time of the accident, they may be able to make a negligence claim against the homeowner. Such a claim would be independent of any workers’ compensation claim.

Therefore, homeowners are often held liable for dangerous conditions which cause slip and fall or trip and fall accidents. Common property hazards which lead to viable homeowner liability lawsuits include:

If you’ve been injured in a fall down accident while making a delivery, it is very important to speak to a fall down accident lawyer as soon as possible. Homeowner liability cases can be very complex. It is wise to have the case reviewed immediately to determine issues such as ownership of the property, liability of others, and proving notice.
