Miramar Slip and Fall Injury Lawyers

Top-Rated Injury Lawyers Provide Skilled Representation to Clients Injured in Broward County Slip and Fall Accidents

Slip and fall accidents can occur at any time and in any place and, by definition, you are unlikely to see the accident coming. The severity of the injuries that can result from a slip and fall accident can also be difficult for foresee, and, unfortunately, can often be serious. When you could not have prevented the accident because it was someone else’s duty to keep the property safe, you may be entitled to recover compensation to hold that careless property owner responsible for causing your accident.

Trusted Miramar Slip and Fall Accident Lawyers Fight to Establish Your Right to Compensation After a Slip and Fall Injury

In order to make a valid claim for compensation from a negligent property owner, it is first important to establish the type of duty that the property owner owed to the slip and fall accident victim. The legal standards that apply to Miramar property owners vary depending upon why the accident victim was on the property, as follows:

• Business establishments. Business property owners owe the highest duty of care to visitors, who are called “invitees”, and must both maintain the premises in a reasonably safe condition and conduct inspections to discover any unknown hazards. They also have a duty to warn you of any dangers on the property that have yet to be corrected.
• Private property owners. If you are invited to the property as a social visitor, you are classified as a “licensee”. The property owner is still obligated to warn you of any known hazard and to maintain the property in a reasonably safe condition but is not subject to the inspection requirement.
• Trespassers. Property owners are only obligated to refrain from causing harm to trespassers intentionally and must warn them of certain significant dangers on the property.

Property owners are required to keep both the interior and exterior of the property reasonably safe for others, and this means maintaining parking lots, parking garages, outdoor walkways, and staircases, as well as the interior of the property.
