Trip & Fall / Slip & Fall
When people slip or trip upon debris, foreign objects, liquids, cracks, mislevelled pavers or walkway sections, worn carpet or mats, raised door saddles, unrepaired potholes, or many other unsafe conditions, it is often as a result of a careless owner. An owner is responsible to compensate a victim when injury results from the carelessness. Some types of negligence for which an owner is responsible includes situations where the owner created the dangerous condition or defect, or knew or should have know that there existed a dangerous condition or defect, but failed to remove it, or at least take measures to warn people. Sometimes, an owner can be held responsible if the owner operated his business in an unsafe way, such as infrequently scheduled inspections throughout the day of grocery store aisles, or the lack of policies to frequently inspect for and remove hangars on the floor during the day.
These cases are not simply relegated to those against business owners - home owners or renters typically carry homeowner's insurance or renter's insurance to protect themselves against these types of occurrences, and state and local government agencies are responsible to keep public sidewalks, parks, and playgrounds free of unreasonable dangerous conditions and defects to the same extent as private owners of the same type of property.
For years, Mark and Rhonda have cultivated relationships with expert engineers and safety consultants in Florida and nationwide, who often lend their expertise through analysis, report making, and testimony as to the nature of the dangerous condition or defect at issue. These include, for instance, experts in concrete and cement preparation and maintenance, and experts in "human factors" in cases based on injuries caused by dangerously designed premises.
We handle all types of trip and fall / slip and fall injuries - herniated discs, broken bones, spinal cord injury, neck and back injuries, brain damage, paralysis, and death, to name just some.
At Weinstein & Weinstein, P.A., we have expert economists and vocational rehabilitation experts who in these circumstances have convincingly testified for us and submitted comprehensive reports that persuasively show future economic losses, due to the loss of ability to work, or to work at the same level as before, or, of course, due to death.
At Weinstein & Weinstein, we truly believe in our motto, "fairness for all". We have been fortunate enough to have been successful in obtaining justice for everyday citizens from the biggest insurance companies and multinational corporations in the world - even from the tobacco companies (Rhonda Weinstein obtained what is still the only "second hand smoke" jury verdict in favor of a plaintiff in the country - and after five years of unsuccessful appeals by the tobacco companies, they were forced to pay). If we can fight the tobacco and insurance companies and win, we can fight for you. Mark and Rhonda will personally handle your case.
Because we have been successful in the past, we have the resources to fight the fight the way it needs to be fought. If you seek responsible, caring, and yet tenacious lawyers to fight for you, we'd like to help. Our track record proves that we can.
