When They’re Negligent

Recent changes in legislation have had an adverse effect on the rights of slip and fall victims. Hence, hiring an experienced attorney is crucial for securing a fair judgement in slip and fall cases.

At Miami Legal Firm, we have the required skill and knowledge to successfully file a claim for slip and fall accidents. We have the necessary resources to address any challenges as our attorneys have led many successful settlement cases.

In a slip and fall case, the attorney has to prove that the victim was injured due to a dangerous condition, which was neglected by the property owner. The condition must be identified as a potential threat to those on the property and a condition that cannot be anticipated by a reasonable person. The second condition is important, as people are required to avoid noticeable hazards.

You can file a claim to compensate for the following:

• Pain and suffering
• Medical expenses
• Loss of wages
• Loss of benefits
• Punitive damages
• General damages

To prove that the property owner knew of the dangerous condition, your attorney will have to show the following:

• The property owner created the dangerous condition;
• The property owner knew of the condition and was negligent in failing to correct it; or
• The condition existed for a long enough period of time that a reasonable property owner should have discovered and corrected it before the accident.

If you or someone you know is suffering from injuries due to a slip and fall, contact Miami Legal Firm to ensure that your rights are protected and to receive the compensation you deserve.
