THE INS AND OUTS OF SLIP-AND-FALL ACCIDENTS
One of the most common types of workplace injuries is slip- and-falls, and they can incur some pretty hefty medical bills. If you fell while on the premises of someone else’s property, you might have the right to recover a settlement to account for your medical bills and compensate you for your pain and suffering. In Florida, to achieve this, you must be able to prove the following: 1. The fall took place on someone else’s property. 2. You slipped on a substance. 3. The substance you slipped on created a dangerous condition. 4. The owner of the property had actual or constructive knowledge of the dangerous condition. 5. The dangerous condition was not repaired when it should have been. But, how do we prove actual or constructive knowledge of the dangerous condition? Florida law says that if it can be proven that the dangerous condition existed long enough that the owner should have found it, if the dangerous situation took place on a repeated basis, or if the owner knew about the situation and neglected to fix it, then they can be held liable.
Keep in mind that after a slip-and-fall injury, the actions you take can make all the difference in your case. If it happens to you, make sure you report the incident to the owner of the premises, record any witness information, gather any
evidence you may have (including photos), report injuries to a health care provider, avoid giving any recorded statements, and attend all of your doctor appointments. Lastly, reach out to us with all the information surrounding the incident to see if you have a case and how we can best assist you in obtaining the representation and
compensation you deserve! We’ve got your back!
