Slip and Fall Attorney Fort Lauderdale & Surrounding Areas
Serving Florida from our Boca Raton Office
Slip and fall injuries are a form of premise liability. These types of personal injury cases are often seen when a property owner or manager is negligent. They have a duty to maintain, repair and upkeep the property and when they do not, someone is injured.
In Florida, land owners are required to maintain their property so that it does not pose a risk to those who enter the property – whether it is a guest in your home or a patron of your store.
As a property owner, you owe it to those who visit your property to be reasonable in how you upkeep your property, clear the floors and even secure the property.
By keeping the property free of hazards, you are doing your job. But, by failing to maintain or keep the property safe, you are liable for any injuries that a visitor sustains.
Slip and fall injuries often happen in front of businesses and usually occur because of a liquid or other substance on the ground. They occur because of unsafe property conditions, including clutter.
Were You Hurt in a Slip and Fall Injury?
Whether it was a slippery floor, uplifted carpeting or a bunch of boxes that made you fall, that fall could do long-term damage to your body. These types of injuries can change a person’s quality of life for good and even affect whether or not you can walk, work or enjoy life.

While you may want to wait and see if your injury goes away, you should never wait. You may not want to rush into a personal injury lawsuit, but if you are hurt, you have bills and you cannot predict the future.
That small injury may turn into something more serious or you may be forced to miss weeks of work that you cannot afford.
It is a good idea to visit Boynton Beach slip and fall lawyer before time goes too far. Witnesses will remember the events better, you will have easier access to video surveillance (if applicable) and you will have better medical records if you file your claim right away.
Also, if the property owner goes to cover up the item that caused your injury, it may be more difficult to prove they were negligent.
Proving Liability Isn’t Easy
When you file a slip and fall lawsuit, you must prove that the property owner is liable for your injuries. Their attorneys will try to deny that they were negligent or even say that it was your fault you were injured.
Certain factors will become part of the investigation, such as what you were doing when you fell, if you played any part in your injuries or if you had injuries prior to the accident that could explain your injury after the accident.

I have known many attorneys in my life but can honestly say that when you deal with Mr. Glotzer you get 100% of his attention which is very rare as most of the time you have to deal with secretaries and paralegals. I strongly recommend Mr. Glotzer and his firm.”
