MARGATE SLIP AND FALL ATTORNEYS
Margate, located in Broward County, is a growing area with over 53,000 residents at the last census. The Margate area offers plenty of places for shopping, dining, entertainment, and recreation. Lakewood Mall, Cocogate Plaza, Cypress Lakes Town Center, Coco Plaza, and Margate Village Square, among many others, are frequented by both local residents and seasonal visitors alike.
With so many locations to patronize, it is not uncommon for Slip and fall accidents to occur in the city of Margate. Slip and fall accidents occur when a person slips, trips, and/or falls as a result of hazardous conditions on a property. Wet floors, poorly lit access areas, uneven surfaces, obstructed walkways, and other conditions that are due to poor design, poor construction, or inadequate maintenance can cause people to slip and become injured or killed. If you or a loved one has suffered a Slip and fall accident recently, you should immediately contact Madalon Law and speak to a premises liability attorney to find out about your legal rights, and to obtain assistance in protecting those rights and getting compensation for your injuries from the negligent property owners.

A SLIP AND FALL ATTORNEY CAN HELP
When you retain the services of a Slip and fall accident lawyer at Madalon Law, we will work to preserve the testimony of accident witnesses, gather evidence of the accident and of the hazardous conditions that caused it, prove the property owner’s knowledge of the dangerous condition, and document your injuries to maximize your recovery for damages.
