Identifying the Negligent Party and Establishing Liability in Your Slip and Fall Case

The defendant owed you a duty of care (to maintain their facility/property and keep you from harm or injury).
The defendant failed to fulfill this duty (by failing to maintain the facility/property).
This breach of duty caused your accident (your slip and fall), which caused you to be injured.
Your injuries resulted in recoverable damages.
