Slip & Fall Accidents – West Palm Beach

Slip and Fall / Trip and Fall Accidents
David J. Glatthorn, P.A. – West Palm Beach, Florida

The Center for Disease Control reports that up to 28% of traumatic brain injuries are as a result of falls. Other injuries commonly seen include fractured arms, wrists, legs, hips, and spinal injuries.
Many such accidents are caused by the failure of commercial establishments to adequately police their premises and regularly inspect for slipping or tripping hazards .Retail operations are under an obligation to routinely inspect for and correct any such dangers.
In other instances,parts of a structure may have been built in such a way as not to comply with building regulations.

In most cases, either safety experts or architects may be necessary to prove that the defendant failed in their duty to protect the consumer or visitor.
Trip/slip and fall accidents are usually no accidents at all. In most cases, they are simply the inevitable result of hazardous conditions that have been ignored or overlooked by a property owner, a business or its agents. Proving those conditions existed and that the owner knew about or should have known about the problem but did nothing to address it is the difficult part. Our attorneys can help. Contact Us.
