Fall Accidents and Premises Liability

When you visit someone else’s property – no matter if it is a store, restaurant, business, or home – you have the right to assume that the property’s owner has taken all of the necessary precautions to ensure that guests will stay safe. Unfortunately, not all property owners or managers take this responsibility seriously. As a result, accidents occur each day to people who are visitors to someone else’s property.

Injured victims may choose to pursue legal action in the form of a premises liability lawsuit. If you have been harmed on another person’s property and wish to know more about your legal rights, call a Coral Springs premises liability lawyer from the Law Office of Eric G. Canter, P.A. at 866-529-0022.

Slip and Fall Accidents

One of the most common types of premises liability cases involves slip and fall accidents. Common causes of slip and fall accidents can include:

• Wet floors and surfaces, such as in stores, restaurants, kitchens, or near swimming pools

• Hazardous stairways or poorly-marked steps

• Stray cords or electrical wires present in walkways

• Lack of sufficient handrails

When you enter someone else’s property, your safety is in his or her hands. Therefore, property owners have a legal responsibility to keep their guests from undue harm. Failing to do so can cause serious injury, and in these situations, victims may choose to pursue legal action against the person or party at fault.
