Unsafe Property Conditions Can Result in Personal Injuries and Security-Related Attacks

Contact Woodruff Injury & Consumer Protection Law to schedule a free initial consultation with an experienced attorney regarding a west Florida slip and fall or negligent security related injury.

A claim involving unsafe property, or "premises liability," can be the result of a number of different causes, including poor property maintenance, undisclosed dangers, damage to the property or other dangerous conditions. Public places such as retail stores and amusement parks frequently fail to maintain premises, resulting in inadequate security, slippery stairs or steps, or malfunctioning escalators or elevators.

Slip & Fall Accidents Can Cause Serious Injuries

Property owners have a duty to keep their premises in reasonably good condition, and to warn visitors of any danger that the owner knew about or should have known about. Claims may be warranted when private or public property owners knew about, but failed to fix, a dangerous condition that caused injury to a visitor. If someone slips, trips and falls due to a property defect that is undisclosed or difficult to detect, that person might be entitled to recover for the resulting serious injury. Insufficient lighting, environmental hazards and other conditions on public property can cause a visitor to slip and fall as well.

Negligent Security Measures Can Lead to Physical Assault

In addition to "slip and fall" accidents, premises liability claims can also be based on dangers such as security-related attacks. Inadequate security measures taken by property owners or managers in locations open to the public can result in serious injuries to a victim of an assault or other type of physical attack. Robberies, sexual assault, and other types of attacks may be preventable when appropriate security measures are in place. We have handled numerous cases on behalf of victims of serious crimes due to unsafe premises and inadequate premises security in private and public buildings.
