About Trip and Fall Injuries

A trip and fall accident may occur because there is an object in a walkway, a missing stair, a pothole or gap in the pavement, or a poorly lit area. These accidents may occur virtually anywhere: on a boat, at the mall, at an amusement park, in a retail store, in an office building, in a parking lot or even at a friend's house. When the injuries sustained in a trip and fall accident are significant enough to necessitate medical care or result in emotional trauma or even property damage, a victim can seek financial compensation from the responsible party.

This may be the owner or manager of the property, as Florida property owners have the responsibility take reasonable action to ensure their grounds are safe. This may include routine maintenance and inspections as well as putting up warning signs if a hazardous condition exists.
