When a slip and fall injury affects your life

Hazardous conditions such as a slippery floor, loose steps or a poorly maintained sidewalk should be spotted and fixed by the property owner in a timely manner. When these conditions are not fixed, and when occupants and visitors to the property are left unaware of the dangerous condition, serious injury can occur. Our firm helps people who have sustained a slip and fall injury on premises that include the following.

• Retail stores
• Grocery stores
• Department stores
• Schools
• Churches
• Parking lots
• Fast food establishments
• Restaurants

Florida Negligent Security

Business and property owners have an obligation to provide a reasonably safe environment when their premises are open to the public. Serious injuries can occur when business or property owners are negligent in providing security for their premises. This is particularly true when owners are aware of security problems and fail to act promptly to correct a known dangerous condition. Proper security can be as simple as installing adequate lighting or security cameras to prevent crime.

Common security failures by business and property owners include:

• Inadequate lighting
• Inadequate security systems
• Poorly trained security guards
• Inadequate inspections of persons or property, such as bars and night clubs
• Inoperable locks on doors, windows, and gated communities
