Slip and Fall Law Attorney and Army Ranger Veteran

Van Riper & Nies Attorneys combine hard work, experience and compassion to bring a unique perspective as we fight for justice for our clients. Our Stuart, FL personal injury trial attorneys can be powerful advocates for those injured in any premises liability matter, including: 

• Narrow stairways;
• Improperly designed stairs;
• Inadequate stair handrails;
• Slippery and dangerous flooring;

• Obstructed or blocked store aisles;

In Florida, a business, or property owner, has a duty to exercise reasonable care in the maintenance of their property, as well as to warn its visitors of hidden hazards that exist and might cause a slip and fall.  The business or property owner may be liable and responsible for a slip and fall accident when they fail to reasonably maintain their property and/or when they fail to adequately warn visitors of any hidden hazards. 

Our Stuart personal injury attorneys have the litigation experience and resources, including investigators and expert witnesses, to skillfully represent clients injured on unsafe or dangerous property. Slip or trip and falls may result in serious injuries, such as back injuries, head injuries, knee injuries, such as a torn ACL,  shoulder injuries, such as a torn rotator cuff, ankle fractures and  other broken bones,  and wrongful death. Attorney Tim Nies was an insurance defense attorney where he represented businesses and property owners sued for injuries. Tim knows how insurance companies value slip and fall and other premises liability cases.

All our personal injury cases are taken on a contingency fee basis, meaning we do not take a fee or charge any costs unless we win. For more information about our personal injury practice, please call us at 772-283-8712 day or night.
