Property Owner Liability
Every property owner has a responsibility to maintain their home, business, or workplace so that it is safe for visitors, customers, and other guests. This responsibility is to keep the premises free of hazards for anyone lawfully on the property. Here are some examples of the responsibility that property owners, or anyone in charge of a public place, may have to their visitors and customers:
- A restaurant manager or a restaurant’s employees should be sure to clean up food that has spilled in a timely fashion
- Wet floor signs need to be set out after a floor has been mopped to prevent slips
- Signs should be displayed clearly to keep unaware visitors out of dangerous areas, like stockrooms
- Aisles should be blocked off when there is a danger of objects falling from high shelves
All of these measures are intended to keep accidents like yours from happening. If a property owner or someone else in charge of maintaining a property was negligent with implementing reasonably safe conditions, they could be liable for your losses.
Even if the property owner is telling you that you are the one at fault, you may still be able to pursue legal action. Speak with our team today to find out whether you are eligible to pursue a claim.

You Can Seek Compensation
You have a limited amount of time to file a personal injury case, per the statute of limitations for civil cases. If you miss this timeframe, the courts can dismiss your case. You also only have two years to file for a wrongful death case. A Titusville slip and fall lawyer at Bogin, Munns & Munns can guide you through this process and make sure your case is prepared to go to court, if necessary.
Many expenses that you incurred because of your accident and injury can be included in the value of your case. This includes medical bills for a trip to the emergency room, visits to your doctor, physical therapy, and rehabilitation. You can also include medical equipment and medication. Pain and suffering and emotional distress are also losses that could be considered, even though they do not have a clear dollar value.
If you missed work, you can include those lost wages in your lawsuit. If your injuries keep you from earning the same amount of money again, you can also request what is called diminished earning capacity. If you have to move to a new position within your company to accommodate your injuries or change careers altogether, you could seek compensation for that difference in income.
After assessing your losses, your lawyer will file a claim for you. They will manage all the details of your case, including any communication with insurance companies. If your case goes to court, they will represent you and keep you updated on the progress of your case.
A lawyer from Bogin, Munns & Munns can help you determine which expenses to include in your lawsuit. We can guide you on an appropriate dollar amount and answer any questions about the statute of limitations. We can also tell you about any Florida laws that may affect your case. Call us to get started today at (321) 567-5470.
The Costs of Slip and Fall Accidents
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), over 800,000 people are hospitalized every year because of these accidents. According to the Florida Department of Health, nearly 2,500 Florida residents died in 2012 because of falls. Thousands of other Florida residents are injured each year in slip and fall accidents. The most common injuries, according to the Florida Department of Health, are traumatic brain injuries and hip fractures.
All of these injuries result in lost productivity, thousands in medical bills, and lives disrupted. You should not have to take drastic measures to pay for those costs, such as working multiple jobs. The attorneys at Bogin, Munns & Munns can help you build a case and fight for your compensation.
