Perazzo Law Shares Best Advice for Dealing with a Shopping Mall Accidents in Miami-Dade or Broward Counties
Business operators that own shops inside a Mall, as well as Mall operators, owe a duty to shoppers and visitors. This duty includes making sure that their premises are safe and free of any potential dangers (as listed above). Unfortunately, accidents to take place within shopping centers and malls, and when they do, mall authorities and business operators are wary of having a lawsuit filed against them. Upon being hurt from an accident taking place inside a shopping mall or any store within, the injured party will be asked to fill-out an accident report which asks the injured party to detail the injuries sustained from the accident. Perazzo Law advises those injured in a shopping mall to refrain from filling out the form as some injuries don't reveal themselves until later on, thus the mall and its insurance provider may use your report against you in the event a lawsuit is filed on the injured party's behalf. Insurance companies do not like to pay-out for injuries and will try to have you settle your claim as quickly as possible and for as little as possible, thus, Perazzo Law advises shopping mall accident victims to refrain from trusting an insurance adjuster's offer or the value of your claim.
