Slip and Fall Accident Lawyers Serving Miami, Palm Beach, Broward County, Beyond
Slip and fall accidents are among the most common grounds for premises liability lawsuits. Slip and fall accidents can occur anywhere and can lead to any number of personal injuries, ranging from mild to very severe. These accidents often occur as a result of wet, icy, oily, or otherwise slippery floors. Food spills, defective handrails, uneven surfaces, broken or cracked pavement and concrete, and open trenches are also frequent causes of slip and fall injuries. If these injuries occur due to a slip and fall accident in the workplace, there may be grounds for filing a workers’ compensation claim. If you have been injured and are searching for experienced slip and fall accident lawyers, the attorneys at the Miami and Palm Beach-area law firm of Downs Brill Whitehead would be pleased to evaluate your case.
Premises Liability Laws
In the state of Florida, the property owner, or person or entity who maintains a piece of property, is generally responsible for the safety of those who visit the property. This person or entity can be held liable for injuries or damages suffered by visitors to the property in the case of a slip and fall accident. Visitors to a property can be classified according to the following categories:
- Business invitee
- Licensee
- Trespasser
- Recreational user
A property owner is held to a different degree of liability for each type of visitor or “invitee.” Generally, a business invitee has the right to the highest level of responsibility from a property owner to provide reasonably safe and secure premises. All other classifications of invitees have the right to some level of safety while on someone else’s property. The laws for each type of invitee are different, and it is best to seek out the advice of experienced slip and fall accident lawyers, such as our attorneys serving Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Palm Beach, and beyond if you have been injured from a fall on someone else’s property.
