Florida Slip and Fall Accident Lawyer

A person is injured while shopping, dining or conducting business on the premises of property owned or controlled by another. All too frequently, shoppers slip and fall where the business owner has allowed debris or water to accumulate or where a store employee has mopped the floor and not placed the appropriate wet floor signs.  In other instances, a person may be walking down the stairs of a building when the steps collapse as a result of faulty design, construction, or maintenance.

In general, a property owner has a responsibility to maintain their property in a reasonably safe condition and to exercise reasonable care for your safety, which includes a responsibility to warn of a dangerous condition.
We, at Bryan W. Crews & Associates are experienced at handling slip and fall cases. If you have any questions regarding this type of accident, please contact our office.
Below are cases that underscore our competence and experience in handling these types of cases:

In Peggy F. v. Local Grocery Store, a 50 year old manager of a local jewelry store walked into a local supermarket to get just a few items before going home after work. When she walked past the end of the isle, she slipped and fell on a liquid substance. At the time of the fall, there were three employees, including the manager, within five feet of her who failed to clean up the liquid in a timely manner or to warn her of this all too frequent dangerous condition. As a result, she suffered serious leg injuries, medical bills and other expenses. Our firm successfully obtained a $400,000.00 settlement that more than adequately compensate for her injury and meet her future needs.

In another slip and fall case, Kathleen W. v. Deland Grocery Store, was injured in a Deland supermarket. Kathleen was looking at the signs that hung from the ceiling and looking at the shelves to try to locate the merchandise she was shopping for. When she came around the corner of a display, there was a soapy substance on the linoleum floor. Kathleen suffered a fracture of her ankle which required surgery to insert pins, screws, and plates into her ankle. We successfully settled the case two days prior to trial for $92,500.00.
