Fort Lauderdale Premises Liability & Slip and Fall Lawyers 

"Slip and fall injury" and "trip and fall injury" are the generic terms for injuries that occur when someone slips, trips or falls as a result of a dangerous or hazardous condition on someone else's property. Slip and fall injuries can result from such problems as water, rain, grease or other slippery substances on the floor or stairs, as well as poor lighting, or a hidden hazard, such as uneven pavement or a hard-to-see hole or pothole.

Landowners and property managers have the legal responsibility to keep their property safe and can be held liable for those accidents that occur there. The injured party, however, also has a duty to exercise ordinary care while walking on potentially dangerous surfaces.

Unfortunately, "slip and fall" and "trip and fall" cases aren’t always easy to prove. The injured party must demonstrate that their injury was caused by an unsafe condition, or that the property owner/manager did not maintain the premises. Secondly, the victim must show the owner/manager was aware of the condition (and did not warn visitors), or should have known about the condition that caused the accident.
