Maitland Slip & Fall Lawyer
Slip and fall, or “premises liability,” accidents occur whenever you slip, trip, or fall on someone else’s property, whether it is the result of a spill or wet floor left unattended, an uneven floor, a cracked sidewalk, poor lighting, or any other undisclosed and unreasonably dangerous hazard or condition.
