The zip codes for Miami Gardens are 33169, 33014, 33152, 33054, 33056, and 33055. The most famous location in Miami Gardens is the building where the Miami Dolphins play NFL Football.

Slip and fall accidents happen in places just like New Miami Stadium. The owners of stadium and other commercial businesses like Walmart, Calder Race Course and Casino and Publix all owe their guests and invitees a duty to keep the property safe. That duty includes not allowing:

• Broken or unrepaired stairs
• Exposed construction sites
• Falling lights, boxes or poles
• Malfunctioning escalators
• Debris or garbage on the floor
• Improper lighting in hallways or stairwells
• Missing or broken handrails
• Wet floors
• Uneven stairs
• Poorly maintained elevators
• Exposed electric wiring
• Pathways that are unreasonably slippery due to mold
• Floors that are slippery because of making the wrong choice of paint or polished concrete

The Slip and Fall Attorneys serving Miami Gardens investigate the claims of their clients and when needed, employ the necessary experts to determine who is responsible for the injuries. Experts in the Florida Building Code are consulted to provide opinions of whether the defendant’s property was constructed in a manner that met or exceeded the Code. Other experts can include engineers, human factors, and construction management.

The investigation can include a search for public records showing prior and similar incidents. If previous accidents are discovered, then the property owner will not be able to claim that they had no notice of the dangerous condition. This is a very common defense asserted by property owners, insurance companies and insurance defense attorneys.

Another area of investigation is to determine if there are any videotapes of the slip and fall. To get this information, the Miami Gardens Slip and Fall Attorneys usually require the assistance of the court. To get the court’s help a lawsuit must be filed. Our lawyers have had numerous hearings on the issue of whether a defendant store owner must provide a copy of the videotape showing the actual slip and fall.
