Slip, trip, and fall accidents can cause serious injuries, including fractures, head injuries, and back or spinal injuries, especially when they result from unsafe conditions a property owner should have addressed. Braz Law – Jason A. Brazelton, P.A. represents individuals injured by unsafe walking surfaces, poor maintenance, and other preventable property hazards in St. Petersburg and throughout Pinellas County.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Florida premises liability law generally requires showing that a property owner knew, or should have known, about a dangerous condition and failed to fix it or provide adequate warning within a reasonable time. Evidence such as incident reports, photos of the hazard, maintenance logs, and witness statements can all play an important role, which is why it helps to document conditions and seek medical attention as soon as possible after a fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jason A. Brazelton works with clients to investigate the circumstances of a fall, gather supporting evidence, and pursue fair compensation for medical bills, lost income, and other losses.
