Slip-and-Fall Accident Lawyers
A nasty fall caused by a slippery floor, foreign object, or an obstruction on the pavement can cause serious injuries. As the victim of an accident caused by the negligence of a property owner, you have the right to claim compensation for your financial losses and suffering.
Avera & Smith is a law firm that vigorously represents people who have suffered injuries as the result of slip-and-fall and trip-and-fall accidents. Diligent and determined, we work hard to help our clients obtain the fair compensation and medical care they need. You can depend on us to do everything we can to obtain results for you.
What to Do After a Slip-and-Fall Accident
Evidence can quickly disappear after a premises liability accident. To protect your ability to obtain compensation, you should do the following:
- Inform the property owner or manager about your accident
- Get the names and phone numbers of any witnesses
- If possible, take photos of the condition that caused your accident; cell phone photos should be sufficient
- Request a copy of any incident report or statement that you give
- Get medical treatment and follow the instructions of your doctor
- Speak with a personal injury lawyer, sooner rather than later

Negligent Security Attorneys In Gainesville
The owner of a hotel, bar or other type of establishment has a legal responsibility to maintain safe conditions on his or her premises. When a property owner fails to do so and harm comes to a visitor or patron of the establishment, the victim can claim compensation for financial losses and pain and suffering.
If you have been injured due to a property owner’s negligence or failure to provide a secure and safe environment for you as a guest or patron, you should speak with an attorney as soon as possible. Our law firm represents people who have suffered harm as the result of negligent security practices by property owners, including:
- Failure to illuminate parking lots and other public spaces
- Hiring employees with a history of violent criminal behavior
- Overly aggressive bar bouncers and nightclub staff
- Failure to provide adequate locks and security measures
- Other types of negligent security practices
Negligent security cases can present challenging issues involving liability, insurance coverage and other issues. What really happened? Who actually owns the property? Did the owner know of the dangerous condition? Had the property owner acted differently, could the assault have been prevented? Our property negligence lawyers have the investigative resources to determine the answers to these questions.
