Personal Injury for Senior Citizens

Senior citizens are uniquely susceptible to the hazards around them. At least one third of all slip and fall injuries are due to environmental hazards in their surroundings; cracked stairwells, bumpy rugs, and unmarked wet surfaces leads to emergency hospital visits in the older population. Surgery at a delicate age can shorten your loved one’s life span and devastate your family.

Williams & Moore, P.A.’s Deland attorney personal injury experts help you gain compensation for some of the physical, mental and emotional suffering that results. Our team of personal injury attorneys will fight back against the age discrimination that landlords can claim against the elderly. One’s age does not negate a property owner’s responsibility for safe surfaces, nor is it a sufficient excuse for their negligence.

Older slip & fall victims need immediate medical attention. Even when seeing a doctor is a financial strain on your family, our Deland personal injury attorneys encourage you to do so; not only is it vital for one’s fragile health, but an immediate visit to the doctor helps validate your claim. Williams & Moore’s Deland attorneys will fight to make sure you are financially compensated for the full extent of the medical costs.
