Clearwater Premises Liability Lawyers

Premises liability cases include many different types of accidents which occur due to the negligence of the owner or possessor of land or property. Landowners have a duty of care to maintain their property in a reasonably safe condition. Many times, this duty is not met resulting in injuries.

Did you slip, fall or trip on the property or land of another person or business and become seriously injured? Dangerous conditions such unmarked wet floors, unsafe handrails, improper lighting, misplaced parking lot bumpers, staircases in disrepair, ripped carpeting, unlevel surfaces either indoors or out, and other hazards can lead to fall-down or “slip and fall” injuries. Premises Liability cases include other types of accidents, such as fires, explosions, accidental gunshot wounds, etc.

Many times people who are involved in fall-down accidents will be damaged in several ways. For example, you may have experienced bodily injuries and resulting pain and suffering as well as lost wages, loss of ability to earn money in the future, disability, expenses for hospital, immediate and future medical treatments, and you may have aggravated a prior injury. You deserve to be compensated for these losses.

Timing is very important. If you have been injured due to the carelessness or negligence on someone else’s property, whether in a private home, a store or just about anywhere else, call us immediately so we can begin protecting your rights. A delay in obtaining legal representation may impair your attorney’s ability to gather and preserve evidence, such as obtaining an inspection, photographing the accident scene and interviewing witnesses.

If you or a loved one are involved in a fall-down accident, there are some very important things that must be done, and done promptly, to make sure that your rights are protected:

Allow your attorney to make photos and/or videos as soon as possible

We need to photograph and/or video record your bodily injuries as soon as possible to preserve valuable evidence. Additionally, the accident site will need to be inspected by an engineering or building inspection expert. You should also keep the clothes and shoes you were wearing at the time of the accident so that they may also be inspected as they may have evidence of the substance on which you slipped or fell.
