How we can help

Our Team Of Lawyers Represents Those Injured Due To Slip And Fall Accidents And Other Premises Liability Claims

Premises liability claims are very common in Florida. For example, slip and falls are a major cause of serious injuries and are often caused by negligence of the owner or maintainer of the property. These claims can often be difficult to prove, due in part that those that are injured wait to seek legal counsel. Our experience has taught us that those injured due to a slip and fall are often embarrassed and fail to promptly report the claim to the manager of the business or location of the fall. Further, many are unaware that just because they are injured on someone else’s premises does not mean that landowner or store owner will be held responsible. Typically, some type of negligent conduct, due to poor maintenance or actually creating the dangerous condition, must be proven. Accordingly, the lawyer Jay believes that it is essential to contact us immediately so that we can investigate these claims and protect your legal rights. Our Team Of Lawyers Represents Those Injured Due To Slip And Fall Accidents And Other Premises Liability Claims Throughout Dade, Broward, Palm Beach And Orange Counties And Throughout The Entire State Of Florida.
In the event that a client is injured due to a slip, trip and fall, it is important to note what actually caused the fall. Sometimes it is due to a liquid on the floor, poor maintenance, leaking refrigeration equipment or other defective condition. We urge our clients to photograph the area of the fall immediately. This task is often an easy one–most cell phones have built-in cameras and video capability. This may provide valuable evidence as to the source of the defect, whether it was directly caused by the premises management, or if it was caused by another customer, whether the management promptly attempted to ensure that it was made safe, and whether proper warnings were provided to the public. Obviously, once a fall occurs, management will likely quickly remedy the problem–all the more reason to photograph the scene at the time of the fall or injury.
Premises Liability

Premises liability is a legal concept that holds property owners and occupiers responsible for maintaining a safe environment for visitors. When hazardous conditions, such as wet floors, poor lighting, or uneven surfaces, lead to accidents or injuries, the property owner may be held liable for failing to address these risks. This area of law covers a wide range of accidents, including slip and falls, injuries caused by poorly maintained buildings or equipment, and accidents on unsafe outdoor properties. Victims of premises liability accidents can seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering if they can prove the property owner’s negligence in maintaining the property. Holding property owners accountable is crucial to ensuring public safety and preventing future accidents.

5/5

Jay Wasserman’s work in personal injury law also shines in cases involving nursing home abuse related to premises liability. Nursing homes have a legal and moral duty to maintain safe environments for their residents, but when negligence leads to unsafe conditions, the consequences can be devastating. Jay has successfully held facilities accountable for hazards such as poorly maintained walkways, inadequate security, and failure to address environmental risks that endanger residents. His meticulous approach to investigating these cases ensures that every detail is uncovered, from improper maintenance to violations of safety regulations. By securing justice for victims, Jay not only helps families find closure but also pushes for systemic change to improve safety standards in nursing homes. His dedication sends a powerful message: negligence will not be tolerated, and vulnerable individuals deserve environments that prioritize their well-being and dignity.

5/5

Mr. Wasserman is a brilliant attorney and was very sympathetic to the nature of my injuries and the effect that it had on my entire family. He was also very patient and made sure that I received the full value of my claim. I had wanted to accept an early offer but he convinced me that my claim was worth far more. I was glad that I listened to his advise. I was very pleased with the job that he did.
