Slip and Fall

What is a slip and fall accident? Unsuspecting people are injured in falls every day, and some of those falls are the fault of a landowner or a business. People and businesses must keep their premises in a reasonably safe condition for customers or guests.

If it can be established that the owner knew or should have known that the property is unsafe, did not remedy the problem quickly they can be held liable. If the issue is not fixed and one is injured as a result, the owner of the property can be held liable.

Punitive Damages

Punitive damages are damages exceeding compensation and are awarded to punish the at fault party. Punitive damages are not necessarily related to any specific injury or to compensate the injured party for harm caused by the at fault party. They are awarded as a deterrent and to punish the at fault party for intentional acts of misconduct of gross negligence. Punitive damages are awarded with the hope that they will deter the at fault party from any future misconduct.

ARE THERE LIMITS ON PUNITIVE DAMAGES IN FLORIDA? Yes, Florida caps punitive damage awards. Florida does not allow an award to exceed three times the amount award for compensatory damages or 500,000.00, whichever is higher.
