Slip and Fall Attorney Serving West Palm Beach

About Slip and Fall Accidents

A slip and fall accident is a type of personal injury claim that generally falls under the realm of premises liability law. When a person is injured because he or she slips, trips or falls on another's property, this may be grounds for legal action against the owner of the property for negligence. West Palm Beach property owners have a responsibility to maintain the premises. This includes compliance with building codes and the proper maintenance of the structure as well as property grounds, both inside and outside the structure. The property owner may also have a duty to warn visitors of or properly address certain problems that come up in heavy weather, such as ice or standing water.

Although the property owner has a responsibility to act with reasonable care in maintaining property grounds, anyone who visits the property also has a responsibility to exercise reasonable care. Accordingly, it will be necessary to prove in any West Palm Beach slip and fall accident claim that the property owner was negligent but that the victim was acting with reasonable care under the circumstances. The burden of proof in a personal injury claim for a slip and fall accident lies with the victim, making it all the more important to involve an attorney who has the experience and resources to build an aggressive case on your behalf.
