Slip and Fall Cases We Handle

Slip and fall cases fall under premises liability law, which holds property owners and businesses responsible for unsafe conditions. These accidents often happen in places you trust to be safe, including:

Grocery stores, restaurants, and shopping centers
Apartment complexes and rental properties
Sidewalks, parking lots, and public walkways
Hotels, resorts, and entertainment venues

Common causes include:

Wet or slippery floors without warning signs
Broken steps, uneven flooring, or loose tile
Poor lighting in hallways, stairwells, or parking areas
Missing or damaged railings
Hazards that should have been repaired or removed

We investigate every detail, gather evidence, and build strong cases to prove negligence. Our attorneys work tirelessly to ensure you are compensated for both immediate injuries and long-term consequences.

Compensation You May Be Entitled To

A successful slip and fall claim can provide compensation for:

Medical expenses:

including emergency treatment, surgeries, and rehabilitation.

Lost income:

for time missed from work during recovery.

Pain and suffering:

for the physical pain and emotional distress caused by the fall.

Loss of earning capacity:

if your injuries limit your ability to work in the future.

Loss of consortium:

if the injury impacts your relationship with a spouse or family.

Florida law gives you two years from the date of the accident to file a claim under Florida Statutes § 95.11(4)(a). Missing this deadline could mean losing your right to compensation, so it’s critical to act quickly.

FAQs

What should I do immediately after a slip and fall accident?

Get medical treatment right away, even if your injuries don’t seem severe. Then document the scene with photos, report the incident to the property owner or manager, and collect contact information from any witnesses. Finally, contact a slip and fall lawyer to protect your rights before speaking with insurers.

How do I know if I have a valid slip and fall case?

You may have a case if your fall was caused by unsafe property conditions that should have been fixed or properly marked with warnings. Our attorneys will investigate liability and help determine whether you can pursue compensation.

How long do I have to file a slip and fall claim in Florida?

In Florida, most slip and fall claims must be filed within two years of the accident, as outlined in Florida Statutes § 95.11(4)(a). Waiting too long could prevent you from recovering damages.

What damages can I recover from a slip and fall?

Damages may include medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. In more serious cases, claims may also cover long-term disability, reduced earning potential, or loss of consortium.

What if I was partly at fault for my fall?

Florida follows comparative negligence law, meaning you can still recover compensation even if you were partly responsible. However, your recovery will be reduced by your percentage of fault.

Do I need a lawyer for a slip and fall claim?

While it’s possible to file a claim alone, insurance companies often deny or minimize slip and fall cases. Having a lawyer ensures evidence is preserved, liability is proven, and you receive fair compensation.
