CONSTRUCTION INJURIES
Home > Construction Injuries
Getting injured on a jobsite can cause severe hardship including lost wages and immense physical pain.
Every single day, somebody gets injured in a Florida hotel or resort. Many hotel and resort guests become injured due to dangerous equipment, slip-and-falls, misguided recreational activities, malfunctioning elevators, defective furniture, poorly maintained grounds, swimming pool accidents, and more.
​
Under Florida premises liability law, hotel guests are “business invitees.” That means they are owed the highest duty of care, which generally calls for the owner to check the property for existing dangerous conditions and take appropriate steps to protect against such threats or warn guests. However, many hotels and resorts disregard safety measures leaving their guests at risk.
​
​If you or someone you love was injured in a hotel accident, you should consult with our experienced hotel injury legal team to see if you have a claim to seek damages. At Loutos Law Firm, we will not settle for anything less than what you deserve.
HOW WE HELP
Who Suffers Construction-Related Injuries?
The two main categories of people who could become injured in a construction accident are construction workers and non-workers. Construction workers can include everybody from workers doing the heavy lifting to supervisors who spend most of their time filling out forms. Non-workers include pedestrians who happened to be on a construction site, drivers navigating through a road construction zone, or young children who stray into a construction site unsupervised.
​
The legal options available vary depending on who is injured. Construction workers can seek compensation for their injuries from a workers’ compensation claim or a personal injury claim. For non-workers, the only avenue to seek compensation is most likely a personal injury claim.
