Know Your Rights
Regardless of vacationing or working, individuals invited to dwell, work, or play on someone else's premises have rights strictly enforced under Florida law.
Under OSHA guidelines, for example, workers are entitled to have safe workplace conditions. This means common areas like walkways must be freed of encumbrances or impassible conditions like wetness or excess 'junk' protruding from a work area. When slips and falls are reported, employees are protected from retaliation, too.
Similar laws apply to patrons in restaurants, swimmers at hotel pools, and tenants who pay landlords to live in safe conditions: areas designated as common walkways such as stairs or floors must be safely upkept. Our Winter Haven slip & fall accident attorneys have successfully litigated cases where negligence was willful, causing substantial physical injury.
Can't I Defend Myself?

With extensive courtroom experience and knowledge of premise liability law, our attorneys can take your case and professionally prepare it for trial, although many never reach that point. Skilled negotiations with the offending party's counsel settle most claims we take, which allows victims to concentrate on recovering and returning to work, not to mention daily activities that their accident has prohibited.
