Hurt in a Slip and Fall Accident? We Can Help.
Our team is dedicated to helping victims of poorly or improperly maintained premises by getting them straight answers, dealing with the insurance companies and working with clients to make sure they are compensated fairly. — Attorney Arturo Dopazo III
In Miami-Dade County alone, there are over 450 hotels and motels, about 30 shopping malls, acres of parking lots and any number of supermarkets, stores, marinas, apartment complexes and office buildings. If you are hurt from a slip and fall accident in any one of them because of an improperly installed floor, a poorly lit staircase, a cramped grocery store checkout area, an obstruction in a hallway or any number of maintenance or building code infractions — you may be eligible for compensation for your personal injury.
Do not assume it is your fault that you tripped on an uneven staircase or slipped on a travertine floor that had not been properly prepared. Building owners and management companies are responsible for meeting Florida building codes and taking reasonable measures to ensure the safety of visitors to their premises — and they know it. That is why it is important to contact a lawyer immediately if you have had a slip and fall and have been injured. Even if you think the injury is minor, it could become more serious. Some injuries associated with premises liability slip and fall accidents include:
- Sprains and strains that inhibit your ability to walk or complete work tasks
- Fractured hip, pelvis or broken bones
- Joint injuries, including torn meniscus or rotator cuff
- Back and neck injuries, including soft tissue damage and herniated discs
- Cervical spine injuries
At the Law Offices of Arturo Dopazo III, we will treat your case with urgency and you with respect. We know how to deal with building owners and insurance companies to get you compensation for your slip and fall accident. Call us at 305-909-6477 for a free and confidential consultation. Because accidents can happen at any time, our phone is answered 24 hours a day.
You Can Trust Us To Be On Your Side
We take a team approach to helping you. We can retain an architect or building engineer who knows the local building code and who can assess any issues related to your case. We will get you to a doctor for a thorough exam — and if need be, to an orthopedic surgeon or other specialist. Even if you have no medical insurance, we will help you obtain a Letter of Protection to make sure you get the treatment you need. We will take care of the details so you can heal.
