JAIME HAGADORN

¡Este es un fantástico equipo de abogados! Todos los que trabajaban allí me trataron como si fuera su caso más importante, a pesar de que no era un caso importante de accidente automovilístico. Se aseguraron de mantenerse en contacto durante todo el proceso y me llamaron de inmediato cuando los llamé para preguntarles si no podían atender mi llamada en ese momento. Su secretaria siempre me saludaba muy alegremente en su oficina y sentía que me trataban como a su propia familia. Los recomendaría altamente. ¡Hicieron el trabajo rápidamente y con excelentes resultados!

When the property owner in question owns some type of business that you were visiting in order to potentially make a purchase or otherwise provide that owner with financial gain, the owner has a much more involved duty of care to keep the premises safe. In these cases, you are considered to be an “invitee”, which means that you were invited onto the property to further the property owner’s profit motive. Because of this, the property owner has:

  • A duty to maintain the property in a reasonably safe condition
  • A duty to inspect the property to identify any safety hazards
  • A duty to provide adequate warning of any dangers on the property

In these types of slip and fall accident cases, the property owner can be held financially responsible for your injuries even if that owner didn’t have actual knowledge of the danger—it is sufficient that, with reasonable care and inspection, the owner should have known that the danger existed.

Skilled Slip and Fall Accident Lawyers Dedicating to Winning Full and Fair Compensation for Pembroke Pines Clients

Because evidence in a slip and fall accident case can quickly disappear—for example, in cases where the property owner takes swift action to remedy the danger once someone has been injured—it is important to get legal help quickly so that we can take steps to preserve the evidence. If you are physically able to do so after your accident, try to take the following steps:

  • Take photos of the accident scene and your injuries
  • Obtain the contact information of any witnesses, including other store patrons, employees or anyone who saw the accident occur
  • Report the accident to someone in charge, such as a store manager or the property owner or landlord
  • Look around and take careful note of the scene, including whether any warning signs had been placed or whether video surveillance is available

Frequently Asked Questions About Slip and Fall Accidents

What if I was not actually in the store yet when I fell?

Property owners are responsible for maintaining the areas outside of their business establishments, as well as the interior of the property. Who will be held responsible in these cases will depend upon who owned the property in question—for example, if you were in a parking structure that was negligently maintained and that structure was owned by a third party business, it may be that third party who was legally responsible. But remember, business owners are required to maintain areas such as their parking lots, walkways and entryways in safe condition, as well.

Can I always recover compensation if I slipped and fell in a business?

No. First we must establish whether the owner either knew or reasonably should have known about the danger. For example, the owner of a grocery store is not responsible for cleaning up a spill instantly—if the spill had been present for a significant period of time, so that someone reasonably should have cleaned it up or placed warning signs, then the owner can be held responsible for that failure. Every case is different, and we will evaluate the specific facts of your case to determine the likelihood of success.
