Orlando Movie Theater Injury

Orlando movie theaters, including AMC Theater and Regal Cinemas are wonderful places to go. Unfortunately, as Orlando injury lawyers, we have seen increasing numbers of avoidable injury claims involving AMC Theaters and Regal Cinemas.

Many times these injury claims involve fall hazards. For example, when movie goers are walking down sidewalks and entrance areas, they have a right to a level, even and non-slippery surface. Yet, we have Orlando movie theaters with floors and sidewalks that are broken, uneven and slippery. We also see carpets that are not secured or torn creating trip hazards.

While no one can guarantee that trip and falls, or slip and falls will not happen, Orlando movie theaters, including AMC Theaters and Regal Cinemas can provide safe pedestrian areas to prevent avoidable injury. This is especially true in bathrooms. Bathroom floors should be kept clean, dry and without any debris. Too many times, water on a bathroom floor has caused a movie goer to fall and suffer a serious injury.

In many of our cases, it is important to obtain photographs of the scene of the fall. Unsuspecting injury victims who trust the giant movie theaters to “do the right thing,” may be surprised when the dangerous aisle, floor or sidewalk is cleaned or repaired and the owner or operator denies responsibility.

Most people are decent, hardworking and simply want to be treated fairly. Sadly, Orlando movie theaters 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 floors, sidewalks 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: An Insiders Guide for the Injured.
