Recently a study was compiled that showed that more than a third of people over the age of 65 slip and fall each year in Florida. Sadly, more than 1 fall in 10 results in a fractured hip or other serious injury.
Florida's elderly community needs protection. Store owners and businesses that service our state's elderly population must keep their locations safe and free from debris and objects that can cause injury. As a lawyer in Florida, too often I see local businesses fail to take the necessary precautions to protect Florida's elderly citizenry. It is a shame that simple measures to prevent slip and fall accidents or fall downs are not implemented and that stores all too often fail to perform weekly inspections of their premises.
