Affirmative Slip and Fall Defense The affirmative defense is also called the assumption of risk defense. In this defense, the attorney will argue that the victim knew about the risk and accepted the risk by going to the location. The reasons behind this defense vary.
In criminal prosecutions, examples of affirmative defenses are self defense, insanity, entrapment and the statute of limitations.
One of the most powerful defenses in a slip and fall case is the concept of shared fault. The specific rule applied varies by state and falls into two main categories: Comparative Negligence: Most states follow a comparative negligence system.
Common affirmative defenses include claiming the injured person was also at fault, that too much time has passed to file the lawsuit, or that the injured person voluntarily assumed the risk of getting hurt.
