SLIPS & FALLS
When someone slips or trips and falls as a result of a dangerous or hazardous
condition on someone else's property, the land owner or business can be held
responsible for your injuries. Some examples of dangerous conditions include a
liquid substance on the floor of a store, oil in a parking lot, abrupt changes in
flooring, poor lighting, or a hidden hazard such as gap or hard to see hole in the
ground. In order to make a claim for a slip and fall as a result of a dangerous
condition, you must generally prove that the landowner or business owner knew or
should have known of the dangerous or hazardous condition and that they failed
to either correct the problem to make it safe or warn others of the dangerous
condition. Often times evidence of the dangerous condition is lost or repaired
before a person hires an attorney. If you have been injured as a result of a fall on
someone else's property, please contact us promptly so that we ca begin working
on your case.
WRONGFUL DEATH
The loss of a family member or loved one is always a tragedy. No amount of
money can replace a loved one and the loss can never be adequately
compensated.
Our legal system allows for monetary damages whenever a death has occurred
due to the negligent actions of another person or entity and this is called a
Wrongful Death claim. Often times, there is no other way to punish the negligent
party or to try to ensure they correct the actions or conditions that caused such a
serious loss. Monetary damages that can be awarded include, but are not limited
to, past and future medical expenses, loss of past and future earnings, support
and services, and pain and suffering prior to the time of death.
A Wrongful Death claim may also be brought by the decedent's survivors who may
be entitled to compensation for mental pain and suffering, loss of companionship,
loss of parental companionship, and loss of support and services. Survivors and
the estate of the decedent may also recover medical and funeral expenses, as well
as the decedent's loss of anticipated net accumulations and lost of benefits.
Bringing a Wrongful Death claim is very emotional and we can help you through
this difficult time. In many cases, prompt action is required to investigate the facts
and circumstances surrounding the accident and to take the necessary steps to
preserve evidence. If you have suffered the loss of a loved one as a result of the
negligent conduct of another, let us review your case and provide you with a free
consultation.
DOG BITES
A person bitten by a dog or other animal may have a legal right to recover
damages from the animal's owner or another responsible party. Florida has a
strict liability dog bite law, which means that a dog owner is legally responsible for
a dog bite, regardless of whether the owner did anything wrong or could have
protected others from attack.
If you are bitten by a dog or other animal, it is important that you seek medical
attention immediately. Animal bites can cause serious injuries including dangerous
infections and even death if not treated properly. If you or a loved on have been
bitten by a dog or other animal, please contact our office for help.
NEGLIGENT SECURITY
Along with slip and fall cases, negligent security issues relate to the area of law
known as premises liability. Owners and operators of various types of property,
including apartments, buildings, and shopping malls, have a duty to ensure that
persons on their premises are not victimized by foreseeable crimes. If a property
owner fails to provide adequate security and a crime such as rape, robbery, or
assault results, he or she may be held liable for damages.
The most common negligent security claims involve the hotel guest, mall shopper,
office building worker, or student who is victimized by a perpetrator taking
advantage of the inadequate security on the premises. Often, proper security
equipment, personnel, or surveillance, when the landowner knew or should have
known of the potential for criminal conduct, could have prevented the crime.
If you have sustained a serious injury that you believe was the result of a
property's insufficient security, you may be entitled to monetary damages for your
current and future medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering.
