Seeking Money Damages for Serious Injuries
Under Florida premises liability law, property owners are obligated to remove or warn against hidden dangers that might cause people to slip or trip and fall on their property. Unfortunately, some fail to do so, causing frequent accidents in premises such as:
- Grocery stores
- Other retail stores
- Shopping malls
- Apartment buildings
Commercial property owners have particularly strong duties, but residential and other property owners can also be held accountable for slip and fall accidents, especially when steps and other features on their premises are not up to code.
Your first reaction after a slip and fall accident may be simple embarrassment, but the following day, you may start experiencing neck or back pain. Eventually, your injuries may require treatment and even surgery. Broken bones are another common slip and fall injury.
Personally Investigating the Facts of Your Case
Our attorneys take a hands-on approach to slip and fall cases. We will go to the accident scene with you so you can explain exactly what happened and we can identify what specific property defects may have caused you to slip or trip and fall.
We also work with qualified investigators and other expert professionals to establish who was liable for our clients' injuries, the extent of those injuries and their likely long-term consequences. Don't hesitate to contact us to discuss your slip and fall accident.
