Dangerous Property

Gainesville, Florida Premises Liability Attorneys

Retailers, hotels, office buildings, contractors, and homeowners are responsible for the upkeep and safety of their property. When disrepair, code violations, and general negligence create dangerous conditions, property owners can be held financially accountable for injuries that occur as a result. At the law office of Stripling & Stripling, P.A., our lawyers expose failures on the part of property owners that lead to accidents and serious injury to our clients. At construction sites we investigate OSHA violations and failures to secure idle equipment during off hours. In cases involving an attractive nuisance like a swimming pool or dog, we note failures to adhere to city ordinances and codes intended to secure swimming pools or dogs in back yards. Our attorneys also expose general disrepair that leads to serious, catastrophic injuries that result in head trauma and paralysis.

If you've been seriously injured due to falling debris, fire, an explosion, electrocution, or collapsed structures, contact dangerous property attorneys at Stripling & Stripling today. We provide free consultations in order to evaluate your case and discuss the legal options available to you.

Liability and Swimming Pool Drowning

Pool owners are governed by the Residential Swimming Pool Safety Act, § 515.29 of Florida Statutes when it comes to securing their pools. Proper fencing, a gate latch, and other structural requirements determine when a pool is up to code. Since pools can attract young children and kids, securing a pool with locks and proper fencing is important. When a swimming pool drowning happens and a pool is not up to code, the owner can be held liable for negligence. In swimming pool drowning cases, our attorneys work with investigators and pool construction companies in order to expose code violations. We look at permits, inspection reports, and take photos to document lapses in safety.

Dog Bites and Owner Liability

In the state of Florida, dog owners are strictly liable for injuries caused by their dog. This includes bites that happen in public space or to people who are lawfully on a dog owner's property. They can also be held liable for injuries to a child who wanders onto property where a dog lives. At Stripling & Stripling, our attorneys work with medical experts and medical economists in determining costs associated with reconstructive surgery, physical rehabilitation, and counseling when emotional trauma is involved.
