Bradenton Slip and Fall Lawyer
Many people are seriously injured by slip and fall accidents. In fact, according to the CDC, every year over 800,000 people are hospitalized and approximately 3 million older people are treated in emergency departments for fall injuries.
Slip and fall accidents can cause very serious injuries, including broken bones or head injuries. Hips, wrists, ankles and arms are all susceptible to fractures from falling, with more than 95% of all hip fractures occurring because of falls. Fall accidents are also the number one cause of traumatic brain injuries (TBI).
It’s a tragic fact that many of these injuries could have been prevented if property owners and managers had made sure their property was safe. Property owners and managers have a legal duty under Florida law to take reasonable care to maintain and operate their premises so they are safe for visitors, customers, and guests. When they fail to do so, they may be held legally responsible for injuries caused by their negligent failure to keep their premises safe.
If you have been injured by falling because of unsafe conditions on someone else’s property, you may be able to hold the negligent party responsible and obtain substantial compensation for the losses and suffering you have experienced and may continue to experience in the future. The Dennis Hernandez Injury Attorneys Bradenton lawyers have helped hundreds of people throughout Florida get the compensation they deserve for their injuries and welcome the opportunity to put their experience and expertise to work for you.

SERIOUS INJURIES CAUSED BY SLIP AND FALL ACCIDENTS IN BRADENTON
In Bradenton and throughout Florida, injuries caused by slip and fall accidents send many people to the hospital. Sometimes, these accidents are fatal. In fact, slip or trip and fall accidents are the second-most common cause of fatal workplace injuries in Florida, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, surpassed only by vehicle accidents and other transportation injuries.
Slip and fall accidents frequently happen outside the workplace. You can suffer a fall at home, in a store, at a restaurant, during an event, in a parking lot, or on a sidewalk. If you were injured on someone else’s property—whether as a customer or guest—you may have the right to sue. A property owner or manager may be legally responsible for paying substantial compensation if their negligence caused your fall.
Some common types of slip and fall accident injuries include:
- Spinal cord injuries
- Other types of injuries that can cause paralysis or loss of sensation
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
- Injuries to the neck, face, or joints
- Broken bones
- Severe cuts and lacerations
If you or a loved one has suffered one of these injuries or any other serious fall injury due to a property owner or manager’s negligent maintenance of their property, it is important to get the help you need to bring a successful claim for damages against the negligent party.

WHAT ARE COMMON CAUSES OF SLIP AND FALL ACCIDENTS IN BRADENTON?
Sometimes people trip or slip and fall because they are not paying attention to where they are going. Often, however, these accidents happen because a negligent property owner or manager failed to keep their premises free of slipping and tripping hazards. Some examples of accidents that are caused, at least partially, by negligence include those where the property owner failed to take care of:
- Inadequate lighting in and around the property
- Spilled liquids on the floor
- Objects left in walkways
- Cords strung across the floor or ground
- Broken or uneven steps
- Loose handrails
- Pavement that is cracked or uneven
- Violations of safety codes that apply to businesses
Identifying who caused your accident is a key step toward recovering the compensation you need.
