SLIP TRIP AND FALL

JUSTICE LAW, EQUINE INJURY LAW FIRM, PLANTATION FLORIDA

Slip or trip and fall accidents often result in serious injuries or even death. As a result, property owners and managers are legally obligated to take steps to keep individuals on their property safe. In Florida, owners and managers of properties have a duty to keep their premises safe from dangerous conditions which extends to retail and grocery stores who must keep their shoppers safe, as well as owners of gas stations, strip malls, night clubs and all other commercial properties who must keep patrons safe.

In determining liability for injuries sustained arising out of a premises liability action, Florida courts will focus on the status of the injured visitor as well as the condition of the property and the activities of both the owner and visitor. As such, when it is alleged that an injury was caused by a dangerous condition on a premises, the status of the injured party becomes relevant in determining the duty owed. Florida recognizes three categories of entrants on the land of another including, invitees, licensees and trespassers.

Unfortunately, some property owners or managers fail in their obligation to maintain a safe environment, fail in their responsibility to warn or protect, or fail to control or manage access and the result is a dangerous condition that could cause injury.
