Premises Liability Cases (Slip and Falls, Trip and Falls, etc.)

We are seeking several thousands of Dollars for a woman whom we represent that suffered personal injury when she was shopping in Winn Dixie in Miami, Florida. She went to grab a bottle of Carlos Rossi wine, which was on a cardboard box which was improperly (negligently) stacked on other cardboard boxes. The support structure for the bottles of wine was not proper and it is our position that the supermarket had a duty to properly place their items on a display which was stable. When she reached for the bottle of wine, another bottle (which was on the same piece of cardboard) fell and landed on her toe. Paramedics came to the accident scene and took her to Baptist Hospital. She was diagnosed with a broken toe at the hospital. She treated with a podiatrist (foot doctor) for several weeks/months. Her toe did not heal properly and she had surgery which was performed at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami, Florida.

We are currently seeking over $70,000 for a woman who suffered personal injury to her foot when she stepped on a brick paver which collapsed while she was leaving a friend's house. Her friend was renting the house, in Doral, Florida at the time of the accident. Our client suffered a cuboid fracture of her foot. She is currently treating with a podiatrist, and her foot was placed in a CAM walker. She has two children and it is very difficult for her to tend to their needs while having restricted movement of her foot. We are alleging that either the homeowner or the person who installed the brick paver was negligent. We have already sent letters of representation to both parties. Unfortunately, her foot may be having some difficulty healing.

We are currently seeking several thousands of dollars for a 10 year old who broke his finger while he fell off a bench he was sitting at while at Teen Upward Bound camp in Miami, Florida. Some of his other fingers were also sliced up. The young boy was taken to the hospital after the accident. He has been treating with a pediatric orthopedic surgeon who has referred him to a pediatric orthopedic surgeon due to problems with his finger healing. The insurance company which provides general liability insurance for Teen Upward Bound is Burlington Insurance.

We sent the camp a letter so that they preserve the evidence of the disrepair of the bench, but often times unfortunately the premises owner will make changes following the accident.
