Slip and Fall Accidents

In a slip and fall accident, liability on the part of the property owner depends on whether that owner is at fault through negligence or intentional acts. Property owners are expected to maintain their premises in a manner which will reasonably prevent accidents to those who visit the premises as guests, service personnel, customers, or patrons. In the case of a slip and fall, if the accident occurred because of a dangerous condition on the property that the owner failed to correct or failed to post warnings until it could be corrected, then he or she may be liable. Dangerous conditions could include broken steps, inadequate lighting in hallways, stairwells, and pathways, torn carpets, wet floors, broken tiles, potholes, and more.

A slip and fall or trip and fall accident can result in serious injuries, such as broken bones, head trauma, internal bleeding, neck and back injuries, and more. Seeking the legal counsel of the Ft. Lauderdale slip and fall accident lawyer at the firm can resolve the liability issue and may result in an insurance claim for damages commensurate with the injuries sustained.
