Tampa Slip & Fall Attorney
Was Your Loved One Killed on Another Person’s Property?
Florida premises liability law states that property owners have a legal responsibility to ensure their premises are free of any conditions that could potentially lead to a fatal accident. When visitor, patron, customer, or guest suffers a serious or fatal injury due to a dangerous condition on the premises, the property owner will be held liable for damages. Most fatal accidents occur when a person slips and falls and hits their head, causing a fatal brain injury. However, dog bites, negligent security, fires, and electrocutions can also result in wrongful death as well.
There are a number of hazardous conditions that could potentially result in a fatal accident, such as:
- Exposed electrical equipment or wiring
- Exposed holes or ditches
- Wet or slippery floors
- Uneven, cracked, or obstructed walkways
- Broken stairs
- Broken handrails
- Broken elevators or escalators
- Falling objects
A wrongful death lawsuit can also be filed against a property owner for negligent security. These types of wrongful death claims typically arise when a person is attacked by another person on the premises. A wrongful death lawsuit can also be filed against a person whose dog fatally bites or attacks a guest.
