Retirement communities need to take precautions to protect the people who live there. Whether it's installing adequate lighting for sidewalks, speed bumps on certain roadways or warning signs for possible hazards, steps should be taken to protect residents.
Unfortunately, some retirement communities do not put safety first. As a result, injuries sometimes occur in these communities. And when they do, the owners of these facilities need to be held accountable for their actions or inaction through premises liability claims.
Our experienced Florida injury attorneys at the Law Offices of Brent C. Miller, P.A. can help you every step of the way. We know how the legal system works here and what it takes to build a strong case. We have offices in The Villages and three other locations nearby in Central Florida.
Accidental injuries occurring in retirement communities involve many types of accidents and injuries. Some of the unique or stand-out features of retirement communities that can lead to accidents include:
Your or your loved one's accidental injury may have taken place in a mobile home park for seniors, a semi-gated community for retired people, in an assisted living facility or in an apartment complex with residency age restrictions. It may have occurred in a town or area of a city not formally designated as a retirement community but containing high percentages of retired people.
