Slip and Fall Accidents
Property owners owe a duty to maintain their premises in a reasonably safe condition.
This includes the duty to inspect their premises. In addition, property owners have a duty to warn of any dangerous conditions that are known or that the owner should have been aware of. Slip and fall accidents can cause serious injuries and can occur at a business, on public property or even at a private residence. If you slip and fall and are injured on someone’s property, your injuries may have been avoided had the property owner not neglected to maintain their premises in a reasonably safe condition. For example, a store or restaurant may fail to clean up spilled food, drink, or cleaning solution or stairs could be in poor condition.
If you have suffered a slip and fall accident because of another’s negligence, you may be able to recover the cost of your medical bills, lost earnings and compensation for pain and suffering or long-term disability.
However, there have been recent changes to the Florida statutes making slip and fall lawsuits even more difficult to pursue. It is therefore essential that you immediately retain an attorney to represent you. I offer a free consultation and evaluation of your slip and fall case.
