Premises Liability or Slip and Fall Injury

Learn how to document a slip and fall

Under Florida law, a person who lawfully enters upon a premises is owed certain duties. The possessor of the premises must use ordinary care in keeping the premises in a reasonably safe condition and correct any dangerous conditions of which the owner knows or should reasonably have known about, as well as giving timely notice of latent or concealed perils that are known or should have been known to the owner or possessor.

Safety code and statute violations are factors in a case. Florida Statute, Section 83.51(1)(a) requires an owner or occupier to comply with all applicable codes concerning their property, and that proof of a code violation represents prima facie evidence of negligence. Holland v. Baquette, Inc., 540 So.2d 197 (Fla. 3d DCA 1989) and The Grand Union Company v. Rocker, 454 So.2d 14 (Fla. 3d DCA 1984).

Nursing Home Abuse / Injury Lawyer

When a resident is abused or neglected in a nursing home, this is known as nursing home negligence. This type of abuse can result in broken bones, malnutrition, dehydration, decubitus ulcers, and possibly even death.

The nursing home industry is a multi-billion dollar business and efficiency and profitability have sometimes taken priority over proper care. Federal and state governments have introduced legislation to protect residents of nursing homes.
