Today’s blog entry deals with premises liability the accident lawyer from Boca Raton (injury lawyer Delray Beach, accident attorney Boynton Beach, injury attorney Lake Worth, accident lawyer West Palm Beach, injury attorney Lake park, accident lawyer Manalapan) will respond to this question.
They key issue in a case like this, generally, is why the piece of wood gave way. If it gave way for lack of maintenance, then liability likely would be with the owner of the boardwalk. If for example, someone was jumping on the boardwalk, for fun by example, then the negligence would likely be for the injured person that jumped on the boardwalk. In general, a piece of wood that gives way would suggest some form of negligence, assuming the person was merely walking over the boardwalk, so this would appear to be a case. Of course, even if a jury would find that the hotel was negligent for maintaining the boardwalk, the person that fell would still have to prove damages (medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages and so forth) as well as causation, that the damages stem from the fall.
