SLIP and FALL / PREMISES LIABILITY
In Florida, a property owner has a duty to maintain the property in a safe condition. Despite this duty, incidents sometimes occur where a person is injured on the property for a variety of reasons. Oftentimes, these types of incidents are called “slip and fall” incidents where a person either slips or trips and is injured as result of a dangerous condition on the property. These incidents include: changes in floor elevations; slippery floors because of poor cleaning and/or improper surfaces; improperly designed stairs; and poor lighting.
Another factor in these cases is the doctrine called comparative negligence. A jury can determine that the person involved in a slip and fall incident was also at fault for the incident. You will want to meet with experienced attorneys who understand these issues and can explain how they may impact your case.
