St. Petersburg Slip-and-Fall Lawyers
Property owners have various responsibilities that involve protecting and maintaining their property to keep it safe for visitors and occupants. When an injury such as a slip-and-fall injury occurs on a premises, the property owner may be liable for the accident. At Hale & Paulsen, PA, we are experienced in premises liability law. We use this experience to seek compensation for clients who have been involved in slip-and-fall injuries.
When a Premises Liability 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.

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 nightclubs
- Inoperable locks on doors, windows, and gated communities
If you have been injured in an accident or criminal assault on the property of another person due to the negligence or irresponsibility of a business or property owner, you may be entitled to have your medical bills paid by the negligent owner and recover damages for pain and suffering.
