Premises Liability and Slip & Fall Lawyers
An owner of a home or commercial building has a responsibility to ensure that their property is safe and free of dangerous and hazardous situations. At the Law Offices of Mark Abzug, P.A. in Coral Springs, Florida, we hold negligent property owners accountable if you have suffered a slip and fall injury.
Challenges of Handling Slip and Fall Matters
While some may discount a slip and fall injury as minor, many people who are victims to it suffer severe and even life-threatening or life-ending injuries. The first reaction to tripping and falling is that of embarrassment, trying to identify what made you fall and looking around for anyone who may have seen you. Even if an injury occurred, some people are too embarrassed to pursue anything for fear of looking clumsy.
Slip and fall injuries present a challenge for the attorneys at the Law Offices of Mark Abzug, P.A. due to the difficulty in proving that the owner was responsible for the accident. However, it is a challenge we are willing to face if the premises owner was negligent in any way.
Proactive Approach
Establishing a successful slip and fall case requires a proactive approach on your part. Immediately following the fall, you may want to take pictures, especially if you slipped on some type of substance that should not have been there. Names and contact information of any individuals or employees who witnessed the slip and fall and can validate your claim that it was not your fault need to be collected.
Handling Your Case
Our lawyers will review the details of your slip and fall case. If there was negligence by the owner of the property, we will conduct a detailed investigation and gather any witness statements that we can. Your attorney will determine what type of insurance the premises owner holds and what it specifically covers. While we handle that aspect, we encourage our clients to seek the medical attention they need to recover as best they can.
We will aggressively seek damages to cover medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. While settlements are common in premises liability cases, we will take the matter to trial if that provides the best outcome.
