Pinellas County Attorneys: Slip and Fall Accident Claims
An uneven surface, a slippery surface, a raised sidewalk or pothole or any foreign transitory substance may seem like only a minor nuisance. However, serious injuries can result if those nuisances were left unattended. You may feel embarrassment. You may assume that you were not watching where you were going. But a property owner's negligence may have been a major factor behind any injury you suffered.
The attorneys at Ingram & Eno, P.A., represent Florida residents injured due to poor maintenance or neglect, starting with an in-depth investigation.
If you suspect that you were injured because of negligence, take immediate action. Enlist an advocate to assess a negligent premises owner's potential liability. Contact our Clearwater office at 1-727-723-9800.
Performing the Legal "Heavy Lifting" on Your Behalf
After a trip or slip and fall accident, we can immediately address the most important issues:
- The person or company at fault, either partially or completely
- The insurance coverages available
- The types of injury you suffered
- The fair and just value of your personal injury claim
The Duties of a Property Owner to Prevent Slip or Trip and Fall Accidents
Property owners owe three basic duties to a customer or guest who walks into their building or onto their land. Premises liability law requires owners to:
- Maintain premises in a reasonably safe condition;
- Correct dangerous conditions that they knew or should have known about; and
- Warn customers of dangerous conditions which they knew or should have known about.
Building Your Claim Using Our Experience and Your First-Hand Insights
When property owners fall short in their duties, we get to work investigating the circumstances that led to injury. Your recollections of the scene of the accident are helpful. We visit the accident scene, interview witnesses and file a claim on your behalf. If negotiations do not lead to an acceptable settlement, we will not hesitate to litigate your case if that serves your best interests.
