Secure Your Business Against a Personal Injury Claim

With Florida being the number one state in the country when it comes to fraud, a business owner has to do everything they can to prevent all types of fraud from affecting their business, including fake personal injury claims. Reinfeld Cabrera Tison have some advice on how you can secure your business against a personal injury claim with the help of a personal injury attorney.

While there are many things you can do on your own to decrease the risk of a harmful personal injury claim, it is advisable that you consult an experienced personal injury attorney – especially if you suspect that the claim may be false. Your personal injury attorney will look at all the evidence and guide you as to the best way to proceed with the case.

While your personal injury attorney will do the best that they can to win your case, there will be some things you can do beforehand which would help. The first is to make sure that your premises is a safe and clutter free area – slip and fall injury claims are amongst the most common. By ensuring that all walkways and high traffic areas are free of clutter or dangerous objects (such as high stacked boxes or protruding objects) you will significantly decrease the probability of accidents (real or faked) from occurring. Also, make sure that areas that could possibly be dangerous or harmful (such as an entranceway during a rainstorm, a floor which is slippery when being cleaned, or a factory area with moving parts and machines) is well signed and warnings are clear.

While detecting and identifying areas where accidents could possibly occur, your liability as a business is still at risk. One way of overcoming this is to work with your personal injury attorney to make sure that all your licenses and certificates are up to date and that your employees are well trained. You should also regularly review, implement, and enforce your business’s and industry standard safety regulations. This may help to alleviate some of the liability from your shoulders. Another important tip is to make sure that you have business insurance and personal injury liability insurance in particular. To find the best coverage for you and your business consult a good personal injury attorney and a business insurance broker.

Remember that while most people are not bad and some personal injury claims may be legitimate there are many people out there who are willing to go to extreme (often illegal and dangerous) measures for money. So make sure that you work closely with a knowledgeable and professional personal injury attorney to safeguard your business from the potentially bogus personal injury claims that could do severe damage to your business.
