Florida Slip & Fall Accidents & Proving Liability
Property owners are responsible for offering safe environments for visitors free of any hazards. Property owners may be held accountable for damages when slip and fall accidents happen. Florida personal injury lawyers can help you file a claim for compensation.
We are well-equipped to help you get the money you need to move past slip and fall accident injuries. While insurance companies may attempt to reject or undervalue your claim, Naples slip and fall accident lawyers ensure you are properly compensated for your losses.
To recover damages from a slip and fall accident, we must prove that your injury was caused by a property owner’s negligence or failure to act. Proving property owner negligence can be accomplished by concrete evidence that the property owner knew about the hazardous damage or failed to fix the issue in time.
When the Property Owner Is Aware of Damage
As you try to prove negligence on behalf of the property owner, a Naples slip and fall accident lawyer will look into the first theory of premise liability: did the property owner know about the damage? If so, they had the duty to repair or replace any damage that could cause harm.
Types of damage you may see are wet floors, fallen items, or other types of property damage. If proven that the property owner was aware of the damage, you must also prove they knew it was dangerous and failed to make repairs. If the property owner was unaware or did not have enough time to fix the damage, they may not be liable for the slip and fall accident.
When the Property Owner Fails to Act
The second premise of liability theory includes proving the property owner failed to act after recognizing the damage. When property owners are aware of the damage and intentionally do not take the steps necessary to correct the situation, they could be held liable for slip and fall accidents that happen as a result.
Property owners must take action as soon as they are notified about an issue. A few ways they can do this is to place caution signs, wet floor signs, mop up wet areas, or block off unsafe sites that could harm visitors.
