In general, Florida Statutes § 95.11 gives injured victims two years to file a lawsuit. It is a good idea to begin promptly to protect your right to take legal action.
That said, we do not have to litigate every case we handle. Many cases settle without going to court, but having the option of taking your case to court can provide motivation for the insurance company to offer a fair settlement. Rosenberg & Rosenberg’s Hollywood premises liability attorneys can fight for justice no matter what your case requires.
In most cases, the property owner and/or manager is responsible for accidents that occur on their premises. This could be an individual, such as a dog owner, or a large organization, such as the corporate owner of a big-box store where you tripped in the parking lot.
In addition, you will have to deal with the liable party’s insurance company. Insurers are generally more committed to their bottom line than to fulfilling the needs of accident victims. A personal injury lawyer from our team can talk to both liable parties and insurance companies on your behalf, protecting you in the event they:
Premises liability accident injuries are not always predictable. Victims suffer a wide range of injury types, from relatively minor to catastrophic. Some falls are deadly or leave victims with lifelong disabilities. Injuries we have seen in our clients include:
Because of the various injuries that these accidents can cause, each case is unique. Some individuals require only an emergency department or urgent care visit and follow-up care. Others spend weeks in the hospital, followed by extensive inpatient rehabilitation. Some never live independently or return to work again.
Our slip and fall accident attorneys know how to document the injuries, expenses, and losses our clients incur. This allows us to understand what a fair settlement might look like in each case. We work with experts to understand the client’s prognosis and future care needs. Then, Rosenberg & Rosenberg pursues maximum compensation to cover it all. This includes:
We also represent families in wrongful death cases. Fall accidents can be deadly under some circumstances. Our Hollywood wrongful death lawyers can help families fight for justice for their loved ones and recover money for their expenses and losses.
When you hire Rosenberg & Rosenberg to represent you, you are gaining 50+ years of experience, knowledge, and skill for your case. Our large firm has handled many cases during this time, and we are familiar with how, where, and why premises liability accidents occur.
In other words, as we investigate your case, we know exactly what we are looking for and how to find the right information and evidence as soon as possible.
If your injury occurred on someone else’s property, your case likely falls under Florida’s premises liability laws. These laws state that the property owner or lessee is generally liable for any injuries that occur due to hazardous conditions on their premises. You could seek compensation from the owner for an injury that happened at almost any location, such as:
In general, you might have a valid slip and fall lawsuit (or another type of premises liability case) if your accident occurred because of a preventable hazard on the property. Property owners must keep their buildings and premises free of unreasonable hazards.
To hold the accused party accountable, our trip and fall lawyers must show the owner knew or should have known about the hazard and yet did not take reasonable steps to maintain a safe environment.
Some common types of hazards in premises liability cases include:
You might already have a good idea of how the accident happened if, for example, a handrail collapsed under your palm or you saw a puddle after slipping on it. Whether you noticed a particular hazard or not, however, you might not have the whole story, including whether or not the property owner was notified about the hazard.
Rosenberg & Rosenberg listens carefully as injured parties explain what happened. Then, we expand on that knowledge by closely investigating every case.
The evidence we use to compel the insurance companies to pay an appropriate settlement depends greatly on the circumstances, including where the accident happened and how soon we are able to start investigating. However, some common types of evidence in these cases include:
With this evidence, our premises liability attorneys in Hollywood are often able to negotiate a settlement for our clients or litigate their cases and win a verdict in court.
Right after the accident happens, you are likely in shock and concerned mostly with getting medical care. Your first instinct is the correct one: your health always takes priority, and if you have any urgent concerns (e.g., you hit your head), call 911 and go to the hospital immediately.
Even if you do not require immediate treatment, you should see a doctor as soon as possible. If you are comfortable doing so, you can take the time to collect evidence from the scene before leaving. The following materials may be especially helpful as our Hollywood attorneys build your case:
You should also file an incident report with the property manager or owner. For example, if you fell at a store, ask to see the manager and tell them what happened. Rosenberg & Rosenberg can use this report and any other evidence you collect to directly strengthen your case and to glean clues about where other evidence may be found.
