Slip and Fall

Fort Lauderdale, Florida Slip-and-Fall Lawyers

Each year, thousands of people become injured because property owners either fail to keep their premises in a safe condition, or fail to warn the public that an unsafe condition exists. The majority of these injuries occur when a person suddenly slips and falls while they are shopping, dining, or conducting business on the premises or property that is owned and/ or controlled by another party, who has not provided a safe environment for customers and guests.

You should know that these property owners have specific legal obligations to those who have lawfully entered onto their premises and / or businesses. The owners of these establishments must provide a safe environment for customers and guests who are shopping or conducting business on their premises.

There are many examples of how a person can Slip-and-Fall and become injured. For instance, inside a building there may exist dangerous and hazardous conditions due to carpet or floor cleaning, poor lighting, foreign substances left on the floor, narrow stairs, wet floors, etc., as well as other conditions that could cause someone to become hurt when they are unaware of the condition. We have found that many times a shopper will slip, fall, and become seriously injured when the establishment has allowed water to accumulate on the property- or where store employees have washed and / or waxed the floor, without placing the appropriate and requisite warning signs to alert and caution the shopper of the dangerous condition.

In some cases, liability can even exist outside a building. Depending on the circumstances, the owner of the premises could be liable should a customer or guest slip-and-fall due to rain, ice, snow, spillage of a foreign substance—or other hazards such as a gap or hard-to-see pothole in the ground. These types of accidents can occur on commercial, residential, and public property. However, regardless of where they occur, all property and/or building owners have a duty of care to ensure the environment is safe for you.

Many injuries from a slip-and-fall accident are serious and permanent in nature, and some often lead to surgical intervention. If this has happened to you or your loved ones, please obtain the assistance of an attorney experienced and skilled in this field to assist you in seeking
