In general, there are two issues Chalik & Chalik Injury Lawyers consider when handling a fall accident at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. One is identifying the right party or multiple parties and the second is the issue of notice, or whether the responsible party knew about the defective condition, or should have known about it.
