Orlando Mall & Store Injury
Orlando premium malls, outlets and stores are wonderful places to shop. Tourists and guests to Orlando amusement and theme parks find them a pleasant surprise while in central Florida. Unfortunately, as Orlando injury lawyers, we have seen increasing numbers of avoidable injury claims involving local malls and retail stores.
Many times these injury claims involve trip and fall hazards. For example, when shoppers are walking along sidewalks or pedestrian walkways, they have a right to a level, even and non-slippery surface. Yet, we have Orlando malls and stores with parking lots and sidewalks that are broken, uneven and slippery.
While no one can guarantee that trip and falls, or slip and falls will not happen, a mall or outlet store can provide safe pedestrian areas to prevent avoidable injury. In many of our cases, it is important to obtain photographs of the scene of the fall. Unsuspecting injury victims who trust the mall or store to “do the right thing,” may be surprised when the dangerous sidewalk or pathway is repaired and the owner or operator denies responsibility.
Most people are decent, hardworking and simply want to be treated fairly. Sadly, malls, stores and outlets do not always do so when injury results from their carelessness. Fortunately, Florida law has permitted us to assist many Orlando injury victims when dangerous sidewalks, walkways or parking lots have caused preventable harm. To help those who have been injured, we continue to make available a free copy of the Florida Accident & Injury Book, Seeking Justice.
