Wesley Chapel Premises Liability Lawyer
Hidden defects on property injure countless people each year, and Florida law allows some victims to seek financial compensation. Call Anderson & Anderson today to connect with a Wesley Chapel premises liability lawyer. Your right to receive compensation depends on many factors, including the hazard and reason why you were on the property. In a free consultation, we can provide a basic overview of how to obtain compensation and then explain whether you have a solid claim.
Common Property Defects
Our clients are injured in various accidents due to common defects:
- Slip and fall accidents. A person can slip on trash, loose tiles, or other hazards and either fall down the stairs or land on their back.
- Swimming pool accidents. Many pools are defective, with cracked tiles or flimsy springboards. Others lack signs telling people which end is shallow. We can help if you were hurt or a loved one drowned.
- Fire and smoke inhalation. Poor electrical wiring or defective appliances can cause a fire in an apartment complex, hotel or motel, or university. We can represent anyone who suffers burns or respiratory problems due to smoke inhalation.
- Elevator or escalator accidents. An elevator could stop abruptly or fall all the way to the ground, injuring passengers. Many people are hurt on escalators which malfunction.
- Falling merchandise. Stores should put heavier items on the floor or bottom shelf, while shelving smaller items properly up high. Unfortunately, employee negligence can cause shelves in a store to collapse or for items to fall onto customers.
- Negligent security cases. A property owner might share liability for a violent attack if they did not use reasonable security measures. For example, a hotel could have broken locks on the door or window, which allows a criminal to enter and attack you.
Let our law firm review your accident to check if you have a premises liability claim. We can sue all sorts of defendants, including businesses, educational institutions, apartment complexes, and private property owners.
How Much is Your Claim Worth?
A premises liability accident can lead to serious injuries, including nerve damage, fractures, whiplash, concussions, and back injuries. Other victims will struggle with burns or disfigurement.
Our firm is dedicated to obtaining all damages:
- Wages or income lost while you recovered;
- Any property damaged in the accident;
- Medical bills for treatment;
- Continuing medical expenses into the future, if you have longer lasting injuries;
- Mental anguish or depression;
- Pain and suffering.
Other factors go into determining how much you can receive, including the defendant’s financial resources and your own negligence. Floria has recently changed its negligence rules, so you might even lose the ability to sue if you are mostly to blame for your accident.
