Personal Injury

Slip & FallLawyer

Slip and fall injuries fall under Florida's premises liability law. If a property wasn't kept reasonably safe, the owner or business can be held liable for the harm that follows.

To recover for a slip and fall, the injured person must prove three things:

  • A duty of care was owed to the injured person.
  • Reasonable care wasn't exercised in maintaining the property.
  • That failure caused the injury.

Begin your claim today

Florida's statute of limitations gives slip-and-fall victims four years from the date of the accident to file a claim. File on time and you may be entitled to recover medical costs, lost wages, compensation for permanent disability, emotional distress, and more, depending on the court's findings.

Evidence disappears fast: surveillance video gets overwritten, spills get cleaned up, witnesses move on. The sooner an attorney starts working the case, the stronger the claim. Call 305-677-2228 for a free case evaluation.
