The phrase “slip and fall” is used in personal injury law to describe cases where a person falls on another person’s property. Property owners, and tenants who are in control of the property, have a duty to maintain their property in a reasonably safe condition. If a person falls due to a dangerous or hidden condition on the property, then that person may seek compensation from the owner and others who created the dangerous condition.
An experienced Florida slip and fall attorney is important to aid you in your effort for a just recovery. One factor is determining the reason the injured person was on the property. For example, a business invitee and customer are going to get a lot more protection than a trespasser. Another factor is the nature of the dangerous condition and whether it was obvious to everyone or hidden. It is also always important to look at the actions of the property owner. Did the property owner have the property inspected? Did the owner take any action to eliminate the dangerous conditions? Did the property owner warn visitors about any potential dangers? These are all questions that will need to be investigated and addressed by an experienced Florida personal injury attorney and his team.
