January 17, 2011 (Press-News.org) Florida Slip and Fall Liability

Slip and fall accidents are prevalent. Individuals all over the country have sustained injuries at restaurants, retails stores and even popular grocery store chains such as Publix Super Markets. In certain situations, an owner of property is liable under the theory of premises liability if a customer, patron or invitee sustains an injury.

What is Premises Liability?

The owner of premises is obliged to warn public invitees of any inconspicuous dangers the owner is aware of or should be aware of unless the danger is apparent or obvious.

Publix Super Markets, for example, is a popular grocery store chain frequented by many Floridians. Proprietors of these super markets, therefore have a duty to warn their patrons of latent dangers such as slippery floors, uneven surfaces, or unknown food or objects on the floor of the establishment.

Florida Slip and Fall Compensation

In the state of Florida, an injured party may be entitled to compensation for injuries suffered as a result of his or her slip and fall. Medical, hospital, prescription drug costs, physical therapy and rehabilitation expenses are all types of compensation the injured party can recover if the owner of the premises is found liable. These are also known as special damages.

An injured party may also seek general damages. For instance, a party can recover for the loss of future wages because of the inability to work due to the injury. A party can also potentially recover costs for replacement services they can no longer perform such as driving, cooking, or other household chores. Pain and suffering may also be recoverable.

Contact a Florida Slip and Fall Attorney

If you have suffered injuries in a Public Super Market or any other retail, restaurant or other grocery store, seeking the counsel of an experienced slip and fall accident attorney is recommended.

Marijuana Traffickers Face Harsh Penalties

2011-01-17
Marijuana Traffickers Face Harsh Penalties From nostalgic memories of the 1960s and its glorification in movies to the near legalization in California, it is sometimes forgotten that the federal government is actively working to stop the distribution of marijuana in this country.

Property Owners Responsible for Proving Liability in Slip-and-Fall Cases

2011-01-17
The landscape of slip-and-fall lawsuits may change dramatically in Massachusetts, as the state is changing the legal standard for proving fault in such cases. The Massachusetts Supreme Court has now abandoned the standard required in slip-and-fall cases involving snow and ice covered sidewalks and property. In Papadopoulos v. Target Corporation, the Court overturned a century of case law in holding Target responsible for Papadopoulos' injuries sustained in an icy parking lot in 2002. Before the Court's ruling, the Commonwealth followed the "natural accumulation rule," ...
