Slip and Fall
We trust the places we go and the areas we walk to be safe and put our faith in the responsibility of those in charge of them. However, negligence can lead to dangerous slips, savage dog attacks, and many other catastrophes. Our Central Florida slip and fall and dog bite lawyers in Daytona Beach are experienced in premises liability. The attorneys at the Daytona Beach firm of Chanfrau & Chanfrau handle many different types of cases involving negligence on the part of a property owner.
What Is Premises Liability?
According to the law, property owners are responsible for keeping their premises safe for all visitors, employees, customers, and anyone who sets foot on the grounds. If someone suffers an injury on property that has not been properly maintained a premises liability claim against the owner or occupant of the property can be filed. Our premises liability attorneys in Daytona Beach have handled a number of these types of personal injury cases, resulting from a variety of causes. Some examples of premises liability cases include:
- Slips and falls (detailed below)
- Falling products, objects, maintenance equipment, or debris at a store
- Accidents at construction sites
- Pool injuries or drownings
Every premises liability case is different, and we consider each one individually. The goal of a premises liability lawsuit is to prove the negligence of the property owner in ensuring that the property was safe for visitors. This includes adequately displayed signs or warnings to guests to be careful where they walk if there are wet areas, not to touch certai n objects, etc.
Unsafe property conditions can cause life-long injury, and even death. If you or a loved one has been a victim of negligence by a property owner or occupant, contact our premises liability attorneys in Daytona Beach and we will review your case free of charge.
Slip and Fall
One of the most common forms of premises liability occurs when an individual has suffered injury or death resulting from a slip and fall on the property. These types of accidents can occur inside or outside the building. The Central Florida slip and fall attorneys at Chanfrau & Chanfrau have handled many of these complex cases, which are frequently caused by:
- Cracks in sidewalks
- Poor lighting on stairs/steps
- Wet floors
- Uneven floors
- Objects or debris on the ground or flooring
- Loose floor mats
The property owner or occupant may be found liable if it can be proven that he or she caused or knew about the condition and did not correct it. The owner or occupant may also be found negligent if it is determined that he or she should have known about the dangerous condition as a responsible caretaker of the property.
In slip and fall accidents, lawyers for the defendant will frequently say they are not responsible for the dangerous condition that may have caused the injury, or that there was no dangerous condition on the property at all. Furthermore, they will likely try to place negligence on the part of the victim.
It is important for victims of slip and fall accidents to gather names and contact information for any witnesses to the event, and report what happened to the property owner or manager before leaving the scene. It is also important that victims seek medical treatment immediately, no matter how small the injury is. Remember to conserve clothing worn at the time of the accident, as well as photographs of the dangerous condition which caused the fall, as these are very important pieces of evidence.
Our Central Florida slip and fall attorneys are strong advocates for all of our clients. We will work diligently to ensure that victims of negligent property owners or occupants receive reasonable and fair compensation for losses.
