Slip and Fall Accidents

Slip and fall injuries are common, but they are rarely simple. Property owners often blame visitors for not watching their step. We know better, and so do the maintenance records and, when available, the surveillance footage.

A slip and fall accident can involve wet floors with no warning signs, broken or missing tiles, uneven sidewalks and curbs, puddles or spills left unattended, and poor lighting that hides hazards. We work to secure video, cleaning logs, and witness statements that show how long a hazard existed and what the property owner did or failed to do about it.

Property Defects

Some injuries come from deeper structural problems, such as faulty wiring, collapsing balconies, broken railings, poorly constructed stairs, or hidden hazards that should have been repaired long before someone got hurt. Property owners and managers are expected to inspect their buildings. When they skip that duty, they expose guests and tenants to serious risks. When a property defect like this causes an injury, our team works with engineers and other experts to show exactly how the defect developed and how it harmed you.

Negligent Security

This is one of the most serious forms of premises liability. When property owners overlook basic precautions such as cameras, locks, lighting, and trained staff, violent crimes become far more likely. We have a long history with negligent security cases, including a verdict of more than 1.8 million dollars for clients attacked in a garage with minimal protection. Weak security turns predictable dangers into life-changing injuries. We pursue owners who could have prevented the attack but did not.

Construction Site Injuries

Construction zones inside hotels, retail stores, and residential complexes often expose visitors to hidden hazards such as falling debris, unmarked holes, loose materials, or unsecured equipment. These construction accidents can involve multiple parties, including contractors, subcontractors, property owners, and outside vendors. We sort through that web and identify who failed to keep the area safe for guests and tenants.

Falling Object Accidents

Falling merchandise, loose fixtures, unsecured signs, and faulty shelving injure thousands of people every year. Retail stores and commercial properties are supposed to secure items safely, inspect shelves, and avoid over-stacking. When they do not, customers get hit by falling objects, often with serious head, neck, or back injuries. We work quickly to preserve evidence before shelves are restocked or displays are changed.

Hotel Accidents

Hotels have a constant flow of guests, staff, and contractors, which means they should have strong safety routines. When they cut corners, including poor lighting in hallways, loose railings, broken elevators, or wet floors with no warning signs, guests get seriously hurt.

Slip-and-fall incidents in hotel bathrooms are especially common. These accidents often happen because of:

• Poorly maintained or constantly wet bathroom floors
• Lack of non-slip mats or grab bars
• Leaking fixtures or overflows
• Inadequate drainage that lets water pool on tiles
• Failure to clean or inspect bathrooms between guests

Bathroom falls can cause severe injuries, including broken bones, spinal damage, or head trauma, and hotels are responsible for keeping these high-risk areas safe.

We have handled hotel cases involving falls, assaults, electrical hazards, and unsafe amenities. Hotels often carry multiple layers of insurance, and it is common to see finger-pointing between the property owner, management company, and outside vendors. We sort out who is responsible and pursue hotel injury compensation when unsafe conditions cause serious harm.

Vacation Rental Injuries (Airbnb, Vrbo, Short-Term Stays)

Short-term rentals create unique risks for guests. Many hosts do not inspect or repair hazards before listing their properties, and some try to manage serious problems with quick fixes.

We see vacation rental cases involving hidden structural problems, unsafe pools, faulty locks that lead to criminal acts, and poorly maintained stairs, balconies, and walkways. Hosts and management companies often blame guests. If you suffered an injury on rental property while visiting Florida, we focus on what the owner or manager did or failed to do, not the excuses they raise after someone is hurt.

When a property is not kept reasonably safe, the owner, host, or management company can be responsible for your injuries.

Rental Car Location Injuries

Rental car facilities, whether at airports or off-site lots, can be hectic and confusing. When they are poorly managed, serious injuries are more likely. Rental car premises cases often involve falls in crowded or poorly designed walkways, vehicle impacts in return or pickup lanes, poor lighting in garages or stairwells, and inadequate security in remote lots.

A car accident while on vacation can leave you far from your usual doctors and support system. Responsibility can fall on the rental company, the property owner, or outside security vendors. We identify the correct parties and build a case around the unsafe conditions that caused the injury.

Rideshare Accidents (Uber & Lyft on Property)

Rideshare pickup and drop-off zones are now part of everyday life in Miami and Fort Lauderdale. When these areas are poorly planned or maintained, both vehicle and pedestrian accidents spike.

Cases involving rideshare activity on property can include injuries in crowded pickup zones, pedestrians struck in dark or confusing areas, hazards in parking garages or designated waiting areas, and attacks in poorly lit or unsecured pickup spots. Many people do not realize that a rideshare accident lawyer may need to look at both the driver and the property owner to explain what happened and who should pay. In these situations, both the driver and the property owner may be responsible. We examine how the area was designed, whether warning signs or traffic controls were present, and what security measures were in place.

Cruise Ship Accidents

Cruise vacations should be relaxing. Injuries on a cruise ship or at a cruise terminal often trace back to safety shortcuts. A cruise ship accident might involve slippery decks and stairways, unsafe shore excursions, food poisoning, sanitation failures, inadequate medical care on board, or assaults in poorly monitored areas.

Maritime cases have strict deadlines and special rules. Many passengers live outside Florida and are unsure where to start. We guide them through the process and move fast to secure evidence that cruise lines and their insurers often control.

Swimming Pool Accidents

Pools require strict supervision and maintenance. Drownings, near-drownings, chemical burns, broken drains, and slippery surfaces all fall under premises liability. These cases are especially sensitive for families and visitors with children. Swimming pool accidents often involve questions about fencing, lifeguard procedures, warning signs, and chemical handling, so we review maintenance logs and safety policies to establish how the incident could have been prevented.

Dog Bite Cases

Florida law is clear: dog owners are usually responsible when their dog bites or attacks someone. These injuries can be severe, including nerve damage, facial injuries, infections, and long-term scarring. We investigate the dog’s history, the owner’s behavior, and any failures to use leashes, gates, or warnings. Many cases involve uncooperative owners or rental properties that allow dangerous animals on-site. We handle both.

Bed Bug Claims

Bed bugs cause more than a few bites. They can lead to infections, scarring, anxiety, ruined personal property, and ongoing medical care. Hotels, apartment complexes, and vacation rentals have a duty to respond quickly and professionally to infestations.

Serious bed bug cases often involve ignored complaints from previous guests or tenants, inadequate or fake treatments, failure to take rooms or units out of service, and spread of infestation to luggage and personal items. We pursue fair compensation for bed bugs in hotel settings, including medical treatment, replacement of contaminated belongings, and the emotional distress that comes with a severe infestation.
