Dadeland Mall Accident Attorney in Miami, FL

Mall property owners and managers should have customer safety as their number one goal. If they fail to provide that, they are negligent in their duties. It starts with providing adequate security both inside and outside the mall. With such a large property and so many goods being purchased, people with criminal intent could prey on mall patrons.

They won’t if there are plenty of security guards and a well-lit parking lot. If anyone gets assaulted or robbed on mall property because there was no security around, the mall owners should be held liable.

Inside the mall, employees should always be on the lookout for hazards. If there are spills, they should be cleaned immediately to prevent patrons from slip and fall accidents that could cause them harm. Also, any broken benches, trash cans, or railings should be fixed so people do not get hurt.

All mall displays should be well built and stable so they do not fall on mall patrons and any construction projects should be cordoned off so nobody can get close.

We’ve all seen the horrible videos of people getting stuck on mall escalators. If they are malfunctioning, they should be taken out of service. Both escalators and elevators should be inspected and maintained regularly. They have plenty of moving parts that could cause patrons, especially children, harm if they break.

Mall staff should ensure that each store’s displays of merchandise are stable and will not fall. While each store is ultimately responsible for their own displays, the mall property owners should be the guiding hand when it comes to safety.
