Slip and fall cases are often difficult to win because the State of Louisiana enacted a series laws designed to protect merchants from liability and to diminish your legal rights. In every case involving an injury caused by a slip and fall, the first question to ask is whether the merchant either knew of the substance on the floor, or should have known of the substance on the floor. This is called constructive notice under the law, and you must prove constructive notice in order to win your case.
