Injured Due To Dangerous Property Conditions?

When you go to someone else’s premises (his or her property), you expect that you will be safe from harm. If you are injured while on someone else’s property, whether public or private, you may have a claim for negligence and be entitled to compensation.

The Andres Lopez Law Firm, PA has helped many clients in South Florida successfully pursue premises liability claims – a type of personal injury claim involving dangerous property conditions. Our lawyer is committed to fighting for the compensation you need to be made financially whole again. Our fresh approach to the law helps our clients recover damages based on injuries they received while on another person’s property.

Claims Against Restaurants Or Bar Owners

A major focus of our practice involves representing clients who go to a bar or other establishment and are assaulted by another patron or a bouncer. Often, our clients come to us with cases involving patrons who were served too much alcohol by the bar, or a bouncer employed by the establishment who used excessive force against our clients.

If you got hurt at a bar or restaurant, you may have a claim against the establishment owner. Talk to our lawyer about your options.

Slip And Falls

We also help clients with slip-and-fall claims involving hazards such as:

  • Slippery floors
  • Spills
  • Uneven flooring
  • Unmarked stairs or level changes
  • Tripping hazards

Property owners and managers have a duty to keep their premises in safe condition, free from these hazards. If they failed to do so, and you were injured as a result, you should contact our lawyer to discuss your rights.

Claims Against Commercial And Residential Landlords

Landlords in Florida generally have a duty to keep their properties in safe, habitable condition. Tenants and their guests who suffer harm as a result of dangerous property conditions may be able to sue the landlord for compensation when injury results.

These types of claims might involve injuries or wrongful deaths stemming from:

  • Missing handrails on stairs or ledges
  • Dangerous or improperly maintained playground equipment
  • Lack of property security measures such as lighting, alarms, locks, windows and guarded or gated entrances
  • Electrical or fire hazards
  • Unprotected hazards such as ungated swimming pools

    Client Review

    "My mother was in a bad car accident. She had to hospitalize for her injuries and broke her right wrist. We decided to hire The Andres Lopez Law Firm after her accident for the personal injuries caused by the other party. I can say, we have made the right decision by hiring them. Not only they settled our case, Alex from the law firm was always responsive to our questions and also guided is through throughout the whole process. I highly recommend them if anyone else gets into a situation like ours."
