Are slip and fall injuries serious?

Falls can cause serious injuries, including badly broken bones in the wrist, arm, leg, foot or spine. Falls are the leading cause of traumatic head injuries each year. Falls cause half of all traumatic brain injuries in children ages 14 and younger and more than 60 percent of brain injuries in adults ages 65 and older. Older adults are also particularly at risk for a spinal injury during a fall, with 25 percent of spinal cord injuries resulting from falls. Falls are the leading cause of spinal injuries in adults older than 65.

Florida Slip & Fall Accident Law

Florida has specific laws pertaining to slip and fall accidents, which states what a trip and fall victim must prove to recover damages from bodily injury. The injured person must show that the property owner or manager had actual or constructive notice or knowledge of the dangerous condition and should have acted to remedy it. Constructive knowledge means the dangerous condition existed for such a length of time that, in the exercise of ordinary care, the business should have known of the condition, or the condition occurred with regularity and was therefore foreseeable. Actual notice means the dangerous condition existed and was actually noticed, and not remedied. Actual notice is easier to prove negligence. Often defense attorneys will file a motion for summary judgment based on constructive notice.

An experienced Florida premises liability attorney knows how to prove constructive knowledge, and overcome motions for summary judgment to dismiss lawsuits for lack of legal notice. Businesses where spills and obstructions are likely to occur, like restaurants, bars, malls, and stores often have constructive notice, rather than actual notice of the latent danger. Usually, surveillance video must be subpoenaed to catch the dangerous hazard and the slip and fall to determine how long the dangerous condition was there before the fall. If you tripped and fell and were injured while in a business establishment due to a dangerous condition, the Law Offices of Carissa Kranz, Injury Legal Firm, is here to help you.

Other Premises Liability Accidents to Consider in Florida

In addition to slip and fall accidents and trip and fall accidents, premises liability law covers many other property-related accidents and injuries, such as: elevator and escalator accidents, swimming pool accidents, amusement park accidents, dog bites and animal attacks, water leaks or flooding, homeowners claims, mold cases, toxic fumes or chemicals, negligent security, poor lighting, and/or other safety precautions from lack of maintenance and due care that lead to injury, assault, or even death. Florida courts often look to whether the hazard was foreseeable in deciding premises liability cases.

We are here to catch you.
