It happens more than you think. A floor is slick, a carpet is torn, or a walk is icy — and it results in a serious injury. To many, this type of personal injury case is called a “slip 'n fall.” At Emmanuel, Sheppard & Condon, “slip 'n fall” accidents account for many of the cases we see each year.
Property owners have different degrees of responsibility depending on the classification of person on their property. For instance, business owners owe the highest degree of care to their visitors — meaning they have a duty to reasonably inspect for and correct anything that could be hazardous. However, if you're visiting a property for social reasons, the law only requires that the property owner take reasonable care to protect you from anything hazardous that he/she knows about.
We'd all like to think that we're safe from harm as we shop our favorite stores or stop in the local gas station. Unfortunately, many property owners don't make safety the top priority that it should be. If you or a loved one has been injured due to the negligence of another property owner, you're entitled to compensation. This could include the cost of your medical bills, loss of work, and often, pain and suffering. Our Pensacola personal injury lawyer team is fully prepared to help you receive every penny you're entitled to. For a free consultation please call 850-444-HURT (4878). If you prefer, you may complete the requested information to the right, and a representative from our office will be in contact with you shortly.
