Known facts
A shopper falls near a shared entrance used by several tenants. Photographs show the area afterward, but responsibility for inspection, cleaning, and surveillance is unclear.
Questions that need evidence
- Was the area controlled by the tenant, centre owner, or maintenance contractor?
- What condition existed and for how long?
- Were warnings, inspections, complaints, or video recorded?
- What facts connect the condition to the injury?
Practical lesson
Prompt, neutral preservation requests can matter; the fact of a fall does not prove negligence.
