Most slip and fall injuries in Central Florida are preventable. There are safety procedures and training which should always be followed. Ensuring proper warning signs are in place when a floor is wet or slippery, to control access. Taking the necessary precautions to reduce accidents.
A recent case occurred at a favorite grocery store. A customer slipped and fell as a result of water on the floor, which was leaking from a freezer. Unfortunately, there were no warning signs and the customer sustained significant injuries to his back.
Instead of going it alone and facing the insurance company and mountains paper work by himself, the customer contacted an experienced attorney. He didn’t have to worry about anything, all his medical bills were taken care of and he could concentrate on getter better.
If you or a loved one was injured in a slip and fall due to the neglect on part of a restaurant or store owner to properly maintain or clean their property, or failed to warn customers of a dangerous situation, you could be entitled to compensation for your injuries.
