Most businesses, property owners, or renters have insurance policies to protect them if an individual suffers a slip and fall accident on their property. However, insurance companies will look for any excuse to either offer a lowball settlement or deny the claim.
If you fell down and hurt yourself in a public place or a private home, then you need to consult with our experts. We have the knowledge and experience required to assess your slip and fall injury and determine if you are entitled to a settlement.
The number and diversity of injuries that may result from a slip and fall accident are startling. Some people walk away with minor cuts and bruises or a sprained ankle. Other injuries are more serious. Some victims sustain knee damage, dislocate a shoulder, suffer a severe muscle strain, brain trauma, or worse. The recovery from such injuries can be costly and time-consuming, requiring the victim to miss time at work and a reduction in your ability to enjoy life.
Even the mildest of injuries can have life-changing consequences, and the most severe traumatic brain injury may render the victim unable to resume their normal daily activities.
Victims of slip and fall accidents are subject to suffering one or more of these injuries. Once you understand the potential extent of such injuries, it becomes clear why premise liability claims are so highly contested.
If you have suffered any type of injury from a slip and fall accident, let us review your case. Determining fault is not always easy, and it requires the experience and knowledge of a seasoned attorney to decide whether or not a property owner bears any responsibility.
Public establishments like stores, restaurants, and hotels have an obligation to provide a safe, hazard-free environment to their customers. If they fail in this duty, then they may be liable. Even private property owners bear a similar obligation to their visitors.
We aim to demonstrate that the property owner did not behave reasonably under the law. This means that the owner was negligent in his duty, resulting in injuries to an individual.
Absolutely! If your slip and fall happened due to someone else’s negligence—like a wet floor, broken pavement, or poor lighting—you may be entitled to compensation. This could cover medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and even long-term rehabilitation costs. A lawyer can help prove liability and fight for the maximum payout.
Slip and fall settlements can vary widely based on factors like injury severity, medical costs, lost income, and negligence proof. On average, settlements can range from $10,000 to $50,000, but severe cases involving permanent injuries can reach six figures or more. A skilled attorney will push for the highest compensation possible.
It depends! The more serious the injury, the higher the potential payout. If you suffered minor bruises, your claim might settle for a few thousand dollars. But if you have broken bones, head trauma, or long-term disabilities, compensation could be hundreds of thousands of dollars. Each case is unique, so consulting a lawyer is the best way to gauge your potential settlement.
In Florida, you generally have two years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury claim. But don’t wait! The sooner you act, the stronger your case, as evidence like security footage or witness statements can disappear over time. If you’re unsure whether you’re still eligible to file, talk to a lawyer right away.
To win a slip and fall case, you need to prove that:
Strong evidence—like accident reports, photos, surveillance footage, and witness statements—can help build a solid case and secure the compensation you deserve.
