The phrase “slip-and-fall” may sound innocuous, calling to mind a clumsy injury, but falls can result in serious or fatal injury. Slip-and-fall accidents classify as a leading cause of death and severe injury, particularly among young children and the elderly, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In Florida, a slip-and-fall injury may be the result of negligence of the owner or manager of the property where the accident occurred. This party may owe you substantial compensation if you fell on their property and that fall resulted in injuries. After such a tragic event, a Miami Beach slip-and-fall injury lawyer or a lawyer serving the Miami Beach area may help you recover a fair monetary award.
At Ben Crump Law, PLLC, we aggressively fight for the rights of people injured in slip-and-fall accidents. We know how severe these injuries can be, and we aim to make your life as easy as possible so that you can focus on recovering and getting your life back. We take the time to learn all about your case, to identify the responsible parties and go over all your legal options and prepare you for what to expect. Our lawyers work confidently on a contingency fee basis, meaning we do not collect payment until we secure compensation in your favor.

Miami Beach Slip-and-Fall Accidents
A slip-and-fall accident can lead to debilitating, life-altering injuries, which may include:
- Head injuries.
- Spinal trauma.
- Concussions.
- Broken bones.
- Severe lacerations.
- Internal injuries.
If evidence proves negligence and premises liability on the part of the property owner, and if this negligence caused your injuries, you may qualify to seek compensation from the liable parties. At our firm, our job is to hold the responsible party or parties liable and make sure you get paid the full and fair monetary award you deserve.
A Miami Beach slip-and-fall injury lawyer or a lawyer serving the Miami Beach area may help you whether your injury occurred on residential, commercial, industrial, or public property. Give us a call after you receive any immediate medical care you need.
Residential Property
Many slip-and-fall injuries occur on residential property. Examples of this type of property include:
- Houses.
- Apartments.
- Condominiums.
- Mobile homes.
- Co-ops.
Your injury may have occurred at someone else’s property, in which case we may investigate the owner or manager of that property to determine if they should have known about and should have remedied the situation that led to your slip-and-fall.
If your injury occurred on your own property, that does not always mean that it occurred solely due to your own fault or that someone else does not bear financial liability. Several potentially responsible parties for a slip-and-fall accident may exist, even in an accident, that occurs in the injured party’s own home. At Ben Crump Law, PLLC, we may conduct a full investigation and identify everyone that may be liable for your injury.
Commercial Property
Commercial property refers to places of business and their surrounding environments. For example:
- Shopping malls.
- Retail stores.
- Grocery stores.
- Office buildings.
- Recreational facilities (e.g., gyms, climbing walls).
- Parking lots.
- Parking garages.
Slip-and-fall injuries may occur on commercial property, which may remain littered with invisible hazards, such as potholes, uneven pavement, and so on. We may investigate your injury and determine, among other things, if the property in question has a history of incidents. If so, we can use that information to hold them liable for what happened to you.
Industrial Property
Industrial property includes things like plants, warehouses, and other venues where industry work is done. We can hold the owners and managers of such property liable just as we would a commercial or residential property owner or manager.
Public Property
Public property includes parks, public beaches, streets and highways, and so forth. Injuries that occur here can prove tougher and more complicated to litigate, but that does not mean you should avoid hiring a lawyer and pursuing compensation. At Ben Crump Law, PLLC, we do not shy away from difficult cases—on the contrary, we embrace them and pursue them aggressively.
