YOU MAY BE PARTIALLY OR FULLY RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR OWN ACCIDENT
You and the property owner will both be held responsible to varying degrees.
You are expected to watch where you are going and realize that you can slip or fall or such in the daily course of your life. Property owners have a duty to keep their property safe.
You are responsible for your own safety. If you don't take this responsibility seriously and you get hurt, you could be found "contributorily negligent", which means that a court could reduce the monetary award they'd otherwise give you, or give you nothing if they decide you're totally at fault.
You could be partly or totally at fault if you were "under the influence," wearing worn shoes, or walking too fast on obviously slippery ground, or not paying attention while walking.
Not paying attention while walking is going to be the cause of a lot of lost claims by people texting while walking. Watch where you are going and put the phone away.
