We have all seen the “wet floor” signs when we go to the store or other public property. Often, the floor is completely dry and the sign has been left there for hours by employees. Just as often, you have likely come across a wet floor with no sign. Again, no employee in sight. Wet floors are one of the main causes of slip and fall accidents, but they are not the only ones. Most of the time, when a person suffers a slip and fall injury, it could have been prevented by a store employee if they had been doing their job correctly. At Vladimir Tsirkin & Associates, P.A. we want to help if you have been injured. We will work to investigate your case, secure documentation, and get you the compensation you deserve. If you need a Miami slip and fall accident attorney, contact us today. When we look at statistics from the National Floor Safety Institute, we see that slip and fall accidents account for over one million emergency room visits a year. Fractures are the most common injury associated with these incidents, though head injuries and spinal cord trauma also occur. We know that the elderly population is particularly at risk for slip and fall injuries.
