What Causes Trip and Fall Accidents?
Trip and fall accidents often result from hazards that property owners or managers fail to address. Common causes include:
Uneven Sidewalks: Cracks, abrupt changes in elevation, or poorly maintained walkways.
Cluttered Floors: Objects left in walkways that pose tripping hazards.
Poor Lighting: Inadequate lighting that makes obstacles hard to see.
Loose Carpeting: Wrinkled or unsecured rugs and carpets.
Damaged Stairs: Broken or uneven steps and missing handrails.
Understanding Premises Liability
In Florida, property owners have a legal obligation to maintain safe conditions for visitors. If they fail to do so and someone is injured as a result, they may be held liable under premises liability law. To prove a trip and fall case, the following elements are typically required:
A Dangerous Condition Existed: For example, a loose floor tile or an unmarked hazard.
The Property Owner Knew or Should Have Known About the Hazard: Evidence that the property owner failed to address a foreseeable risk.
The Dangerous Condition Caused Your Injury: Clear proof that the hazard directly resulted in your injuries.
