A simple slip and fall accident while out running errands or enjoying a meal in a restaurant can result in months of pain, ongoing medical treatment and physical therapy. The costs of a Pembroke Pines slip and fall accident can quickly add up, as the cost of medical treatment is compounded by the need to miss work during an extensive recovery period. When a property owner’s failure to keep the property safe for customers or visitors caused that accident, you should not be left financially accountable for that failure. If you have sustained injuries in a slip and fall accident and would like to explore the possibility of recovering compensation from the property owner, call our experienced team of Pembroke Pines slip and fall accident lawyers today so that we can get to work investigating your case.

At Lawlor, White & Murphey, we have been recognized on a variety of national forums for our exceptional legal services, including Super Lawyers and by our AVVO rating.

Slip and Fall Accidents in Pembroke Pines, FL Can Cause Surprisingly Severe Injuries

With any luck, you might simply get up and walk away from a slip and fall accident with only a few bumps and bruises. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. Slip and fall accidents can leave you suffering from:

• Head injuries, including traumatic brain injuries and concussions
• Back and spinal cord injuries
• Broken or sprained joints, such as the wrist, knees, hips or shoulders
• Broken bones
• Muscle or ligament damage
• Herniated discs
• And more

In any slip and fall accident case, it is important to identify both the duty of the property owner and the circumstances that caused your accident. Many slip and fall accidents in Pembroke Pines and South Florida involve conditions such as:

• Puddles of water left on the floor in Pembroke Pines
• Torn rugs or carpet in Pembroke Pines
• Debris, or other obstacles, left in places such as walkways or paths in Pembroke Pines
• Newly polished, waxed or mopped floors in Pembroke Pines
• Loose wires or cords in Pembroke Pines
• Broken, jagged or uneven concrete or pavement in Pembroke Pines

When the property owner in question owns some type of business that you were visiting in order to potentially make a purchase or otherwise provide that owner with financial gain, the owner has a much more involved duty of care to keep the premises safe. In these cases, you are considered to be an “invitee”, which means that you were invited onto the property to further the property owner’s profit motive. Because of this, the property owner has:

• A duty to maintain the property in a reasonably safe condition
• A duty to inspect the property to identify any safety hazards
• A duty to provide adequate warning of any dangers on the property

In these types of slip and fall accident cases, the property owner can be held financially responsible for your injuries even if that owner didn’t have actual knowledge of the danger—it is sufficient that, with reasonable care and inspection, the owner should have known that the danger existed.

Skilled Slip and Fall Accident Lawyers Dedicating to Winning Full and Fair Compensation for Pembroke Pines Clients

Because evidence in a slip and fall accident case can quickly disappear—for example, in cases where the property owner takes swift action to remedy the danger once someone has been injured—it is important to get legal help quickly so that we can take steps to preserve the evidence. If you are physically able to do so after your accident, try to take the following steps:

• Take photos of the accident scene and your injuries
• Obtain the contact information of any witnesses, including other store patrons, employees or anyone who saw the accident occur
• Report the accident to someone in charge, such as a store manager or the property owner or landlord
• Look around and take careful note of the scene, including whether any warning signs had been placed or whether video surveillance is available
