PREMISES CASES
PREMISES CASES
"Slip and fall" is a term for personal injury cases that arise when an injury is caused when a person slips and falls as a result of a dangerous or hazardous condition on someone else's property. A slip and fall is the most common form of premises liability accident. A slip and fall occurs when a hazardous condition, like an uneven or poorly lit walkway, causes a person to lose his or her footing and fall. Slip-and-fall injuries often result in back problems, spinal injuries, and broken or fractured bones.
I handle all types of premises liability claims, including but not limited to the following:
• Injury due to poor security
• Dog bit or other animal attack
• Slip and fall
• Swimming pool accident
• Roof cave-in
• Fires or explosions
In any Florida premises liability case, the responsibility of the property owner must be proven. Any person or entity that owns property has an obligation to legal visitors to the property. That obligation requires the property owner to take the necessary, reasonable steps to ensure the property is safe and free from hazards. Or, if a hazard does exist, to ensure the public is warned about the potential danger. Routine inspections and maintenance are how property owners can avoid accidents and injuries from occurring. When a property owner or building manager has been negligent in maintaining the property or has not fixed a known problem, this may be used to prove liability in a personal injury claim.
