Who is Responsible for Your Slip and Fall Injuries?If you slipped and fell on someone else’s property, you need to talk with an Miami Springs slip and fall attorney as soon as possible. You will benefit from a lawyer analyzing the circumstances and advising you on your right to pursue compensation.
Whether or not you have the right to pursue a slip and fall claim and demand compensation depends on the duty of care the property owner owed you and the reason for your fall.
If you were lawfully on the property, then the property owner, manager, or commercial tenant owed you a duty of care. The level of this duty depends on whether you were there for business or social purposes. Business customers and clients are owed a slightly higher duty of care, and as a customer, you may be entitled to compensation for slip and fall injuries sustained by a defect the property owner should have been aware of.
If we can prove the owner owed you a duty of care, our next step is to prove that owned breached the duty of care by failing to maintain reasonably safe premises. We may obtain evidence that the property owner, manager, or tenant failed to inspect their property, repair hazards, or warn visitors about defects in the property.
