Slip and fall injuries are a common occurrence that may not seem serious in minor incidents, but many can cause devastating unforeseen consequences to a victim, especially the elderly, the previously injured, and children. These types of accidents may occur simply from hazardous natural conditions from weather on your own property, but many cases involve icy, wet or ill-maintained and neglected grounds or buildings by property owners. These property owners can be held liable for injuries sustained on their properties especially when it is determined that the injury occurred due to negligence on the part of the owner.
Public premises such as grocery stores, restaurants or hotels must be kept reasonably free from hazards such as slippery or uneven floors and walkways, broken or missing stairs, hazardous substances or objects in walkways, poor lighting conditions, and other hazards. Identification of hazards and neglect on the part of property owners can be a confusing process, so if you have been injured in this kind of situation contact a Miami slip and fall attorney who can give you appropriate and effective legal guidance for your case.
At minimum a clearly visible warning sign must be posted at the site of a hazard in order to warn individuals away and prevent unnecessary accidents. When these types of injuries occur it is often because storeowners neglected to check all of their walkways for hazardous conditions, resulting in unfortunate and painful injuries, which could have otherwise been avoided.
