If you are injured in a slip and fall accident at a business in Florida, you may be entitled to compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. However, to prove your claim, you will need to document the accident scene and gather evidence of the business’s negligence. Here are some steps you can take to do that:

  • Report the accident to the business owner or manager as soon as possible. Ask for a copy of the incident report and keep it for your records.
  • Take photos or videos of the accident scene, including the hazard that caused your fall, any warning signs or lack thereof, the lighting and weather conditions, and any injuries you sustained.
  • Get the names and contact information of any witnesses who saw your fall or the hazardous condition. Ask them to write down what they saw and heard, and sign and date their statements.
  • Seek medical attention for your injuries as soon as possible. Follow your doctor’s instructions and keep all your medical records and bills. Document your symptoms, pain levels, and recovery progress in a journal.
  • Contact a slip and fall lawyer who can help you protect your rights and pursue your claim. A lawyer can advise you on how to deal with the business’s insurance company, collect more evidence, and negotiate a fair settlement or file a lawsuit if necessary.

How do I know if I have a case?

If you've been injured due to someone else's negligence, you may have a case. Common examples include medical malpractice, car accidents, nursing home neglect, and wrongful death. Contact us for a free consultation, and we'll evaluate your legal options.

How much does it cost to hire your firm?

We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you don't pay unless we win. There are no upfront fees—our payment comes from the settlement or verdict.

logo

How long do I have to file a lawsuit?

The time limit varies depending on the case type and state laws. In Georgia, personal injury and medical malpractice cases typically have a two-year statute of limitations. It's best to act quickly to protect your rights.

Will my case go to trial?

Most cases settle outside of court, but we prepare every case as if it will go to trial. If a fair settlement isn't offered, we're ready to fight for you in court.

What compensation can I receive?

Depending on your case, you may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and long-term care costs. Every case is different, so we assess damages based on your unique situation.
