WHO IS LIABLE FOR A SLIP AND FALL?
Slip and fall accidents can cause serious damage, like broken bones or traumatic brain injuries. When these personal injury accidents are caused by hazards that could have been easily addressed, like uneven flooring, poor lighting, of spilled liquids, victims deserve justice and fair compensation.
To have a case, you’ll need to demonstrate negligence on the part of the property owner or manager. This means proving they:
- Knew or should have known about the dangerous condition that caused the fall
- Failed to take reasonable steps to fix the hazard or warn visitors about it
- Your injury resulted from this negligence
Even if you were partially at fault, you can still recover compensation. Comparative negligence laws apply in many states, including Florida. This means that if you’re found partially responsible for your fall (for example, not paying attention while walking), your compensation might be reduced by the percentage of fault attributed to you.
EVIDENCE IS CRUCIAL IN A SLIP AND FALL CLAIM
The right evidence is key for your personal injury lawyer to make a strong case. In slip and fall accidents, this evidence can include:
- Detailed documentation: date, time, and location of the fall, along with pictures of the accident scene and your injuries, if possible.
- Witness testimonies: Statements from individuals who saw the accident and can corroborate your story.
- Medical records: Documentation of your injuries, treatments, and any resulting limitations. The cost of your medical treatment can also help establish fair compensation later.
- Accident reports: If the incident occurred at a business, obtain a copy of any official report filed.
Be sure to document anything you can about the accident and its consequences, keep careful records of all the costs associated with the slip and fall accidents and their effects on your life. Your attorney can use this information to fight for your fair treatment and maximize your compensation.
Each state has a statute of limitations that dictates the timeframe for filing a personal injury lawsuit. In Florida, the statute of limitations on personal injury accidents like slip and falls is two years.
Missing this deadline can severely limit your legal options, so it’s crucial to act promptly after your slip and fall accident. Getting in touch with an experienced personal injury lawyer right away gives you the best chance for a successful case.
