Do you ever find yourself avoiding breaks in the sidewalk, rickety steps on a stairwell, or stepping over puddles in store aisles? All of these are public hazards with the potential to cause severe injury. Hazards that put guests at risk are the responsibility of the property’s owner or property manager, and hazards that are ignored can end up costing companies much more than a proper fix might have.
Slip and fall accidents are usually the result of uneven flooring or spilled substances. Lack of handrails on stairways or balconies are another way slip and fall accidents occur. Missing floor tiles, loose gravel, loose floorboards, and other conditions can pose an immediate threat if left unaddressed.
A slip and fall sometimes causes nothing more than a bruise. But in many cases, the slipping movement can take your feet one way, and your body another, resulting in a wide range of serious injuries including slipped discs, spinal, neck and head injuries, broken limbs, and other injuries that require expensive medical treatment and rehabilitation.
Slip and fall lawsuits are a primary avenue for the public to demand that property owners take responsibility for creating dangerous premises. Apartment buildings, public parks, hospitals, stores, and restaurants are just a few examples of where a slip and fall may occur.
If you’ve been seriously hurt on public or private property, you may be entitled to monetary damages for your injuries, missed work, and ongoing care. Attorney Mark P. Cressman and his personal injury team are here to assist slip and fall victims in central Florida who’ve been injured due to negligence.
