Often caused by wet floors, uneven pavement, or poorly maintained walkways, these accidents can lead to serious injuries when property owners neglect their duty to maintain safe conditions.

Poor Lighting

Inadequate lighting in stairwells, hallways, or parking lots can contribute to slip and fall accidents. Poor visibility makes it difficult to see hazards, increasing the risk of a fall

Items left in walkways, such as tools, cables, or merchandise, can cause individuals to trip and fall. Property owners must ensure that all pathways are clear and safe for use.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

    First, seek medical attention even if you believe your injuries are minor. Report the accident to the property owner or manager and ensure that an incident report is completed. Document the scene with photos and gather contact information from any witnesses. Contact a personal injury attorney to discuss your legal options.

  • How can I prove that the property owner was at fault for my slip and fall?

    To prove fault, you must demonstrate that the property owner knew or should have known about the hazardous condition and failed to address it. Evidence such as surveillance footage, maintenance records, and witness statements can be crucial in building your case.

  • What types of compensation can I receive for a slip and fall accident?

    You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and any long-term effects of your injuries. The amount will depend on the severity of your injuries and the circumstances of the accident.

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

    The statute of limitations for filing a slip and fall claim in Florida is generally four years from the date of the accident. However, it's essential to consult with an attorney promptly to ensure all legal deadlines are met.

  • What if I was partially at fault for the accident?

    Florida follows a comparative negligence rule, meaning you can still recover damages even if you were partially at fault. However, your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault. An attorney can help you understand how this may affect your case.
