Slip & Falls

---

Slips and falls happen in Miami every day and are a leading cause of unintended injury. If a fall could have been avoided had a property owner exercised reasonable care, you can demand compensation. While you can pursue money on your own, it’s best to work with an attorney who has experience handling these types of cases.

Most falls happen because of hidden dangers in stores, restaurants, and businesses open to the public. You might be able to hold a negligent property owner financially responsible if you suffer injuries because of a slip and fall. It can be challenging to get a negligent property owner and their insurance company to take responsibility for a slip and fall incident.

Typical Causes of Slip and Fall Incidents

If an owner knows, or should know, about a dangerous condition on their property where someone could slip and fall, they can’t stand by and do nothing. The dangerous condition has to be fixed and the property owner has a duty to warn of the dangerous condition. 

A property owner could be liable for slip and fall incidents caused by:

• Wet floors and puddles
• Slick surfaces
• Electrical cords
• Uneven surfaces
• Torn or ripped carpeting
• Debris
• Store items
• Produce 
• Poor lighting
• Broken rails,
• Defective stairs, or
• Broken stairs

Don’t underestimate the damages caused by a slip and fall incident. Injuries often require extensive medical treatment. Those same injuries can severely limit your income by keeping you out of work. In addition, the trauma of your fall can affect you emotionally and prevent you from enjoying life as you once did. You shouldn’t have to struggle with these consequences alone. The negligent property owner who caused your fall should be held fully accountable.  You risk not getting every penny you deserve if you try to handle your injury claim on your own. The last thing you should have to worry about is navigating a complex legal claim.
