Where are slip and fall accidents most likely to happen in Florida?

Boca Raton, FL – Slip and fall accidents are common on properties that have not been maintained in a safe condition. Anyone who has been injured during this type of accident has the option of making the business or person responsible pay for their losses. Personal injury attorneys focus their practice on issues like motor vehicle accidents and lawsuits related to slip and fall incidents. 

Supermarkets, convenience stores, and grocery stores

Most people associate slip and fall cases with spilled items in retail spaces that sell food and drinks. This is because spilled liquids are common in places that have large volumes of foot traffic and food, and the store’s management may not always be able to clean an area before other customers are nearby. There will need to be various factual determinations made after the incident regarding whether the management had notice of the dangerous conditions, and whether they acted to prevent injuries within a reasonable time period. 

Areas for parking

Open air parking lots are subjected to rain, flooding, and other forms of severe weather, as well as oils and other fluids that leak out of vehicles. The combination of these substances can become dangerous for people walking through the parking area. Whatever business owns the lot is ultimately responsible for the safety of anyone who is legitimately invited into their space. People who pay for parking in a lot would be considered guests, and a duty of care is owed to them. 

Stadium events and festivals

Large, crowded events for sports, concerts, and various fairs and festivals can be difficult to control. Depending on the nature of the event, there may be groups of people moving around for hours or days, and large amounts of garbage and debris are created as well. This kind of environment can become dangerous very quickly if someone falls and is not immediately helped or able to get up on their own. 

Dining rooms 

The food and beverage industry has to always be mindful of keeping their spaces clean. While this is partially done to create a better experience for guests, it is also done to reduce the potential liability of the business if guests slip and get hurt. The business is going to be liable if a guest is injured while eating, drinking, or moving around.
