Tampa Fencing Accident Lawyer

Fencing accidents can happen suddenly and result in serious injuries, especially when property owners or contractors fail to maintain safe conditions. Broken, unstable, or improperly installed fences can lead to dangerous falls, lacerations, or impalement injuries. At Spencer Morgan Law, our experienced Tampa fencing accident lawyer helps victims pursue compensation for their medical expenses, lost income, and emotional suffering. We handle both residential and commercial property cases, ensuring negligent parties are held accountable for unsafe fencing conditions.

Understanding Fencing Accidents

Fencing accidents often occur because of poor construction, improper installation, or a lack of maintenance. Tampa’s weather, including high humidity and tropical storms, can weaken structures over time. When property owners ignore hazards like rusted metal, exposed nails, or leaning fences, they put others at risk of severe injury.

Spencer Morgan Law represents victims hurt in fencing incidents at homes, apartment complexes, schools, and public facilities. We understand the nuances of Florida’s premises liability laws and know how to prove when negligence led to an injury.

Common Causes of Fencing Accidents

• Deteriorated or rusted fence materials
• Improperly installed or unsecured fencing panels
• Exposed nails, sharp edges, or broken posts
• Collapsing fences caused by poor maintenance
• Defective design or faulty manufacturing
• Failure to warn of known hazards on private or public property

Our team investigates the cause of each fencing accident to determine who was responsible and whether building codes or safety regulations were violated.

Common Injuries Resulting from Fencing Accidents

Victims of fencing accidents may suffer puncture wounds, fractures, deep cuts, spinal injuries, or concussions. In serious cases, falling onto sharp or unstable fencing can cause internal injuries or permanent scarring. Beyond the physical harm, many victims also experience emotional distress or anxiety following the incident. Spencer Morgan Law works closely with medical experts to ensure that all injuries are thoroughly evaluated and included in your claim.

Steps to Take After a Fencing Accident

1. Seek immediate medical care, even for seemingly minor injuries.
2. Report the accident to the property owner or manager.
3. Take photos of the fence, the surrounding area, and your injuries.
4. Obtain names and contact information for witnesses.
5. Keep all medical bills, records, and communications.
6. Avoid signing any documents or accepting insurance settlements.
7. Contact Spencer Morgan Law to begin your case and protect your rights.

What Compensation May Be Available

Depending on the details of your case, you may be entitled to compensation for:

• Medical bills and rehabilitation costs
• Lost wages and diminished earning potential
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional trauma
• Permanent scarring or disability
• Loss of enjoyment of life

Our attorneys seek maximum compensation for every client and are not afraid to take on insurance companies or large property owners who deny responsibility.

Who May Be Liable for a Fencing Accident

Liability in fencing accidents often depends on where and how the incident occurred. Property owners, contractors, landlords, and manufacturers may all share responsibility. For example, a homeowner might be liable for failing to repair a broken fence, while a contractor could be accountable for using substandard materials or poor installation practices. Spencer Morgan Law identifies every responsible party to ensure that you receive full compensation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I was injured by a fence on private property?

You may still have a valid premises liability claim if the property owner failed to maintain safe conditions or ignored known hazards.

Can I file a claim against a contractor who built the fence?

Yes. Contractors and installers can be held responsible for injuries caused by defective or poorly constructed fencing.

What if my child was injured by a broken fence at a school or park?

Public entities may be held liable, although these claims can have shorter filing deadlines. It is important to contact an attorney right away.

How long do I have to file a fencing accident claim in Florida?

You generally have two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit, but the sooner you act, the stronger your case will be.

How much does it cost to hire Spencer Morgan Law?

There are no upfront fees. We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning we only get paid when we recover compensation for you.
