A Florida business or property owner has a duty to exercise reasonable care in the maintenance of their property, as well as to warn visitors of latent hazards that exist and might cause a slip and fall or trip and fall. The business or property owner may be liable for a slip and fall or trip and fall accident when they fail to reasonably maintain their property and/or when they fail to adequately warn visitors of any latent hazards.

In addition, at the TRIPP LAW FIRM we work with engineering, safety and medical experts who may be called to testify on issues ranging from serious back injuries, the coefficient of friction for flooring, and on construction design including staircase design, proper lighting and railings.

REMEMBER – “Insurance company adjusters are not your friends!” Sometimes the adjuster on behalf of the property owner or insurance company may be adamant in claiming the slip and fall accident was your fault, in some cases denying that any unsafe conditions such as wet floors, protruding objects or other problems existed. BEWARE . . . In and effort to seem like they are trying to assist you with some out of pocket expenses and your deductible, it is also very common for insurance adjusters to act quickly, offering a small settlement and have you sign a Release of All Claims before the full extent of your injuries becomes apparent — or before you seek the advice of a skilled personal injury attorney.
