Premises Liability Lawyers

Jacksonville, Florida

Premises liability claims are often referred to as slip and falls. When a property owner or manager fails to remedy a hazardous condition, causing a person to slip, trip, or fall and suffer an injury, they may be held responsible for the victim’s losses.

Slip and fall accidents can result in serious injury. Some of the most common causes of premises liability injuries are:

• Uneven Floor Mats
• Poor Lighting
• Insufficient Railings
• Wet Floors
• Poor Flooring

If you have suffered a slip and fall injury, it is important that you take certain steps that will help your premises liability claim:

• Get Medical Attention – No matter how insignificant the slip and fall may have seemed, it may have caused you to suffer injuries which are not immediately apparent. Many times, the extent of slip and fall injuries are not known until months after the incident, making any premises liability claim more difficult to settle.
• Take Photos – After getting medical attention, it is important that you take photos of the area that caused your slip and fall injury. Often, property owners or managers will correct the hazard that caused your injury in an attempt to deny your premises liability claim. Photographs are important evidence of the circumstances around your premises liability incident.
• Write Down Everything – As soon as you are able to, it is important to write down everything about your slip and fall that you can remember. If you are unable to write, have another person make notes for you. Also, be sure you write down the names of all the people you speak to about the incident and the losses you suffer as a result of the fall.
• Obtain Contact Information – Get all the contact information from witnesses, property managers, property owners, and any other person that may be important to your premises liability claim.
