Boca Raton Slip & Fall Lawyers

You are entitled to an expectation of safety when you visit an office building, the grocery store, an apartment complex or any other public space or business. If you’re injured by dangerous conditions on public or private properties, and specific conditions are met, you should be entitled to compensation for your medical bills, lost wages and pain and suffering. The Boca Raton slip and fall attorneys at Kanner & Pintaluga excel at investigating these cases, collecting evidence and pursuing claims on behalf of Florida clients injured in slip and fall accidents.

Common Types of Slip and Fall Accidents

Slip and fall accidents are alarmingly common and can cause severe injuries, even fatalities. The most common types include:

  • Wet and Slippery Surfaces: These are the most widespread types of slip and fall accidents. Leaking water, recently mopped floors, rainwater and spilled substances are all common examples of events that create hazardous, slippery conditions.
  • Cluttered Floors: Public and private spaces cluttered with objects pose a significant tripping risk. Failing to clear walkways can lead to painful, unexpected falls.
  • Poorly Lit Areas: Insufficient lighting often results in tripping or slipping and falling incidents, primarily if the lack of illumination conceals hazards such as uneven surfaces or obstacles.
  • Uneven Surfaces: Cracked sidewalks, potholes, loose flooring, improperly installed carpeting or unexpected steps can all lead to a fall.

Where Slip and Fall Accidents Often Occur

These accidents can occur anywhere but are particularly common in:

  • Retail Stores: Overcrowded aisles, spilled liquids and torn carpeting are common hazards in retail stores.
  • Restaurants and Bars: Spilled food and drinks, uneven flooring and poor lighting often contribute to falls in eating and drinking establishments.
  • Workplaces: Industrial or construction settings can be littered with dangers, especially when clutter and hazardous materials are often present.
  • Public Spaces: Parks and sidewalks may suffer from poor maintenance, resulting in uneven surfaces, holes or broken pavement.
  • Private Homes: No one wants to hold a friend or family member liable in a claim, but it’s sometimes necessary when you’re injured in their home and saddled with significant medical costs and lost wages. Clutter, uneven steps, poor lighting or even slippery bathroom floors can cause accidents and serious injuries.

What Must You Prove for a Successful Slip and Fall Claim?

In order to bring a successful slip and fall claim, the injured party must prove:

  • 1. Duty of Care: The property owner had a legal duty to ensure safe conditions.
  • 2. Breach of Duty: The property owner breached this duty by allowing dangerous conditions to exist on their property or in their store.
  • 3. Causation: This breach of duty directly caused your slip and fall accident.
  • 4. Damage: You suffered actual harm or injury as a result.

Slip and fall accidents can be a little more complicated than this basic rubric may seem to suggest. In addition to proving the dangerous condition existed, it’s also necessary to show the property owner did know or reasonably should have known about the conditions and had adequate time to correct it prior to the injury occurring. The plaintiff and their legal team will need to collect evidence to prove these facts to maximize claim recovery.   

Challenges Faced by Slip and Fall Claims Filers

Slip and fall injury claim filers often face several challenges:

  • Proving Negligence: Establishing that the property owner knew or should have known about the hazardous condition can be difficult.
  • Shared Fault: In Florida, if you're found to be partially at fault for the accident, your compensation may be reduced.
  • Damage Documentation: Properly documenting injuries, medical bills and other related damages is a crucial yet often overlooked aspect of slip and fall claims. It is of vital importance that you seek medical attention immediately after your fall to increase the likelihood you will be able to collect fair recovery.

Lo que dicen nuestros clientes

5/5
Cuando un conductor sin seguro chocó contra la parte delantera de mi nuevo Range Rover, ¡me enfermé! No sólo por el dolor en mi cuerpo sino también por el dolor de tener un accidente. ¡Este fue mi primer accidente y no sabía qué hacer! Mi hermano me sugirió que llamara a una línea directa 800 y lo hice de mala gana. ¡ESTOY TAN ALEGRE DE HABER HECHO ESA LLAMADA! Mi abogado, Bill, fue muy servicial y conocedor. La fisioterapia fue increíble. Y cuando llegó el momento de cerrar mi caso, ¡José Hernández fue INCREÍBLE! Gracias a todos en K&P por convertir una experiencia traumática en un proceso soportable.
