Florida Injury Lawyer Blog
When you head out shopping in Hollywood, FL, you expect to find bargains, not end up in the hospital. Unfortunately, each year people are seriously injured in stores and store parking lots.
If you find yourself injured on a store premises, it’s natural to wonder if you have a premises liability claim. In this blog post, we’ll explore common injuries sustained in stores, the challenges of pursuing premises liability claims, and how an experienced attorney from Flaxman Law Group can make a difference when you file a claim.
Common Injuries in Hollywood Stores
Stores are meant to be safe spaces for shoppers, but accidents can still occur. Some common injuries sustained in stores include slips and falls, trip hazards, falling objects, and inadequate security leading to physical assault. Slippery floors, poorly maintained walkways, and negligent security measures are just a few factors that can contribute to these incidents.
The Challenges Premises Liability Claims Pose
While it may seem straightforward to hold a store accountable for injuries that occur on its premises, premises liability claims can be complex. Establishing liability often requires proving that the store owner or manager was negligent in maintaining a safe environment. This can be challenging because the burden of proof rests on the injured party.
Stores also usually take steps to protect themselves. They may deny seeing any injuries and will often have legal teams ready to defend any claims. Many stories and their legal teams will try to blame you for the injury or will try to minimize your costs. They may also make lowball offers and exert pressure to accept them. Working with an experienced lawyer can ensure you don’t lose your right to fair financial recovery.
Proving negligence involves demonstrating that the store knew or should have known about the hazardous condition and failed to address it. This requires thorough investigation, evidence gathering, and legal expertise.
