Slip and fall accidents with injuries occur everyday here in Central Florida. If it happens to you or a loved one, whether it is in the grocery store, parking lot, shopping plaza, business, or public place, make sure you are compensated for the costs of medical bills, lost wages and other losses due to your accident.
Premises liability claims can arise from many situations
Obstructed walkways: Tripping over something such as a clutter or pallet left in an isle of a store, tools left in a hallway, or a spill on the floor, can cause significant injuries.
Slip and fall: If while on someone else’s property you come into contact with a hazardous or dangerous condition and suffer from a fall, slip or trip, an experienced attorney can help. This can include a hole in the ground that is hard to see, poor lighting, abrupt change in flooring, and an array of non-obvious dangers.
Inadequate security: Businesses such as hotels, apartment, stores, and public places are typically responsible for providing some type of security. Insufficient lighting can not only encourage criminal activity, it also makes it difficult to see clearly, making an otherwise avoidable item a hazard.
Dog bites: It is estimated to be 900,000 emergency room visits from dog bites every year. Dog owners are usually held liable for the injuries they have caused.
When it comes to premises liability claims the Florida law stresses three important factors. The medical treatments, both past and future, regarding the injuries caused by the accident. The loss of wages as a result of the accident. Also, the pain and suffering the victim has endured and will face in the future.
