Being mindful of any loose handrails, dark hallway lighting, or more often than not, a slippery floor. Always watch where you are going.
It may not be your fault you fell at a movie theatre.
Just because you slip and fall in a movie theater does not always mean you are entitled to compensation for your movie theater injury. Typically, it is the duty of the injured to prove their case and prove that the movie theater was negligent in some way. Most of the time the negligent party has to be aware of the issue beforehand and prove that the theater knew about the spill or the issue and did nothing to make it safer for patrons. Generally, it is the responsibility of the property owner to ensure the safety of their patrons. Always keep any documentation related to the accident. This includes all medical billing and records, any accident reports, or scheduled meetings. This will help ensure that the movie theater will be held accountable for their negligence.
