Florida injury attorneys focused on helping injured victims of premises liability accidents throughout Florida including Fort Myers, Palm Beach, Miami and Fort Lauderdale.

Men, women and children who are injured on someone else's property are protected by premises liability laws. Under these statutes, private land owners or management companies must live up to their duties to ensure safety on their property. Private owners may include homeowners, business owners, and owners of other types of property. A South Florida Slip and Fall Lawyer is qualified to help families determine liability when a loved one suffers personal injury on someone else's property.

Because there are also laws to protect the property owners, premises liability attorneys must create solid legal strategies when fighting for financial compensation for their clients. Cases involving injury while on another's property, commonly referred to as "slip and fall cases" can be difficult to prove and require a lot of time, effort and careful research. That's where the experienced Florida Slip & Fall Accidents and Premises Liability Attorneys at Chalik & Chalik come in.

Florida Senior Citizens and Slip and Fall Accidents

South Florida is home to a large population of senior citizens -- people who winter, retire or relocate here, and native Floridians who've lived their whole lives here. Of the 36.3 million people aged 65 and older living in the United States, Florida boasts the highest percentage of senior citizens for any state, with 16.8 percent of all Floridians being 65 or older. Because of this, Slip & Fall Accidents present a significant safety concern for Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Fort Myers, Miami, and other South Florida communities that so many senior citizens call home (U.S. Census Bureau News Release, March 10, 2005).

The National Safety Council reports that slip, trip & fall accidents are the leading cause of injury-related deaths for people age 65 and older in the United States. See our Nursing Home Abuse page for more information related to slip/trip/fall accidents among South Florida senior citizens.
