Premises Liability / Slip & Fall

Crestview, Florida Slip and Fall, Trip and Fall Attorneys

Property owners must be attentive and proactive in dealing with dangers on the land or in the building they own. At Powell, Powell & Powell, P.A. Attorneys at Law in Crestview and Fort Walton Beach, Florida, we represent people against landowners that fall short in their obligations to maintain their property. This failure results in serious premises liability, slip and fall and trip and fall injuries.

When a client comes to us following a slip and fall or a trip and fall accident, we take a hands-on and personalized approach to their case. Many issues must be addressed and identified to prove premises liability on the part of the property owner. We team with experts to conduct those investigations.

Our team of experts gets to work on investigating the site and the events leading up to the accident. We review the floor maintenance procedures, and if necessary we will file suit against a third-party if the premises owner contracted out that work. We will see if there is a reasonable inspection and maintenance schedule in place. If there were dangerous conditions on the floor that existed for a significant amount of time, the owner should have known or failed to notice that hazard. The failure to take steps to remedy this hazard results in liability for the property owner.

Approaching the property owner directly by yourself after a slip and fall or trip and fall accident is not a wise move. They will likely refuse to compensate you for any medical bills, as their insurance only covers them to a certain amount. That is why you need aggressive representation on your slip and fall or trip and fall case that the lawyers at Powell, Powell & Powell, P.A. Attorneys at Law will provide.
