Elderly Woman Suffers Pelvic Fracture After Slip and Fall at Condominium Property

Elderly Woman Suffers Pelvic Fracture After Slip and Fall at Condominium Property

At Stone & Capobianco, we understand how dangerous unsafe property conditions can become—especially for elderly residents living in condominium communities throughout Florida.

In this case, our client, an elderly woman, suffered a serious pelvic fracture after slipping on paint outside her condominium while contractors were performing work on the property.

According to the facts of the incident, contractors were actively working in the area but failed to properly warn residents or restrict access to the hazardous condition. No adequate notice, barricades, or warnings were provided to alert residents that painting work was underway in a common walking area.

The fall caused severe injuries requiring extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation.


Investigating All Parties Responsible for Negligence

Premises liability cases involving condominium properties are often complex because multiple parties may share responsibility for maintaining safe conditions.

In situations like this, liability may extend to:

  • Contractors performing the work
  • Condominium associations
  • Property management companies
  • Maintenance vendors

Attorney Jerome Stone and the team at Stone & Capobianco aggressively investigate all potentially responsible parties to determine:

  • Who created the dangerous condition
  • Who failed to warn residents
  • Who had responsibility for maintaining safety
  • Whether proper procedures were followed

Our firm works to hold negligent parties accountable when unsafe property conditions result in serious injuries.


Serious Injuries From Slip and Fall Accidents

Falls involving elderly victims often result in catastrophic injuries, including:

  • Pelvic fractures
  • Hip fractures
  • Head injuries
  • Spinal injuries
  • Loss of mobility

These injuries frequently require:

  • Hospitalization
  • Surgery
  • Physical rehabilitation
  • Long-term medical care

In many cases, a serious fall can permanently impact a victim’s independence and quality of life.


Condominium Associations and Contractor Liability

Condominium associations and contractors have a responsibility to maintain reasonably safe common areas for residents and guests.

When construction, maintenance, or painting work creates dangerous conditions, proper safety measures may include:

  • Warning signs
  • Cones or barricades
  • Resident notifications
  • Restricted access areas
  • Safe pedestrian pathways

Failing to take these precautions can place residents at serious risk of harm.
