Fort Lauderdale, Miami, The Palm Beaches and Florida Keys Personal Injury Attorney

Premises liability accidents include both slip and falls as well as trip and fall accidents. These accidents happen when stores don’t clean up spills, hazards and dangers timely. Under Florida Law, when the operator of a business knows or should know about a dangerous condition, known as a “transitory foreign substance”, and fails to correct it in a reasonable time, they are responsible for the damages their negligence causes. Florida Law requires the injured victim or “invitee” meet the burden of proving the business had as actual or constructive notice of the condition which caused them to fall.

Wrongful death cases are often preventable and yet love ones are lost due to all types of accidents including medical malpractice and car accidents. Florida Law’s wrongful death act provides various damages for survivors, depending upon if they are a spouse or child. There are specific limitations in medical malpractice cases for adult children of an unmarried parent. All wrongful death cases in Florida are governed by a specific statute of limitations which sets hard parameters for when a survivor must file a lawsuit with the assistance of a personal injury lawyer in Fort Lauderdale against the person or business which is responsible for an accident resulting in a death.

Motorcycle riders have the same rights as all motorists, but because car and truck drivers are often distracted while driving, motorcycle riders often become seriously injured victims of crashes. While most people have beliefs that motorcycle riders drive dangerously, most motorcycle crashes happen when a car or truck driver is the one who fails to see a motorcycle rider, pulls out into traffic and causes a crash. When another driver is responsible for a motorcycle crash, Florida Law provides that driver is responsible for the crash and the injuries they caused to the motorcyclist.

Negligent security cases happen when businesses or apartment complexes fail to protect their customers and tenants from foreseeable criminal attacks. Florida Law requires stores, banks and supermarkets to be aware of the level of criminal activity in their neighborhood and take reasonable precautions to make their paying customers and tenants safe from likely criminal activity. Such precautions include security lighting, surveillance cameras, fencing, security doors and in many situations, security guards. When a business fails to take those protective actions and a customer or tenant is injured, a Fort Lauderdale personal injury lawyer can help hold the business responsible for that criminal attack and the damages the victim suffers.
