When this happens due to the negligence of another person or an entity—like a retail store—you have every right to pursue compensation. Call our Delray Beach, FL slip and fall lawyer today to exercise that right!
Delray Beach, FL Slip And Fall Lawyer
Slip and fall accidents can have many causes, but what they all share in common is that they’re the result of another party’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional actions. Property owners and managers have a responsibility to make sure their properties are safe for visitors. Issues like wet floors, uneven sidewalks, poor lighting, or cluttered walkways can be safety hazards. Property owners either should fix these problems or at least provide a clear warning, such as putting up a sign indicating that a floor is slippery.
Our team can carefully gather evidence that illustrates that the property owner was either aware of these hazards or should have been aware. When their duty of care is neglected, and it results in a visitor becoming hurt, then they can be liable for damages.
Slips and falls can be dangerous, especially in the older population. A settlement can cover various costs. The first major cost victims need help with is their medical bills. Even something like a simple fracture can result in thousands in medical debt, especially if the victim was rushed to the ER. While recovering, victims can also be compensated for any lost wages. Our team will also include factors like pain and suffering or emotional distress in our evaluation.
