Delray Beach Slip and Fall Attorneys

Even young, healthy people can suffer severe and costly injuries in a slip and fall accident. You shouldn’t be forced to cover the costs of a property owner’s negligence. At Kanner & Pintaluga, we work hard to help our clients secure the settlement agreements they deserve.

Common Causes of Slip and Fall Accident Cases

Wet or Slippery Surfaces: Spills, leaks or improper maintenance can result in slippery floors, sidewalks or parking lots, increasing the risk of a slip and fall incident.
Uneven or Broken Surfaces: Cracked sidewalks, potholes, loose tiles or uneven flooring are hazardous conditions that can cause individuals to trip and fall.
Inadequate Lighting: Poorly lit areas can make it difficult to identify potential hazards, leading to slips, trips and falls.
Hazardous Weather Conditions: Florida's unpredictable weather, including rain, storms and hurricanes, can create slippery surfaces and dangerous conditions.
Negligent Maintenance: Property owners have a responsibility to maintain their premises. Failing to repair or address potential hazards promptly can lead to slip and fall accidents.

Florida Laws that Affect Slip and Fall Cases

Responsabilidad de las instalaciones

Under state law, property owners have an obligation to maintain their premises and warn visitors of any known hazards. If they fail to fulfill this duty, they may be held liable for any injuries sustained as a result.

Comparative Negligence

In Florida, if the injured party is found partially responsible for the accident, their compensation may be reduced proportionally. The experienced attorneys at Kanner & Pintaluga will help you pursue fair compensation, regardless of if you were partly at fault.

Statute of Limitations

In Florida, slip and fall accident victims typically have four years from the date of the incident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Failing to meet this deadline may cause you to forfeit your right to compensation.

Process for Recovering from Slip and Fall Injuries

Recovering from slip and fall injuries involves both physical healing and seeking legal recourse for the damages suffered. Here is an overview of the typical process:

1. Seeking Medical Attention: After a slip and fall accident, it is crucial to seek immediate medical attention, even if injuries seem minor. Prompt medical evaluation not only ensures your well-being but also creates a record of your injuries you can use to strengthen your claim.
2. Reporting the Accident: You should inform the property owner or business of your accident and request a formal accident report be filed. Ask for a copy of the report for your records.
3. Gathering Evidence: Document the accident scene by taking photographs and collecting witness statements.
4. Contacting a Personal Injury Attorney: Consulting with a skilled personal injury attorney can be beneficial after being injured on someone else’s property. They can guide you through the legal process, negotiate with insurance companies and fight for the compensation you deserve.

Common Types of Injuries Sustained in Slip and Fall Accidents

Fractures and Broken Bones: Falls can result in fractures or broken bones, particularly in the wrists, ankles, hips and spine.
Head and Brain Injuries: When the head strikes a hard surface during a fall, it can cause concussions, traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) or other severe head injuries.
Soft Tissue Injuries: Sprains, strains and torn ligaments are frequently suffered in slip and fall accidents, including torn or strained joints, muscles and tendons.
Back and Spinal Cord Injuries: Falls can cause damage to the back and spinal cord, leading to herniated discs, paralysis or chronic pain.

Frequently Asked Questions about Slip and Fall Accident Cases

How do I know if I have a valid slip and fall injury claim?

If you have suffered injuries due to a slip and fall accident caused by someone else’s negligence, you may have a valid claim. Factors such as hazardous conditions, property owner negligence and the extent of your injuries will be considered to determine the validity of your claim.

What if the slip and fall accident occurred on public property?

Slip and fall accidents on public property may involve different legal considerations. There are unique procedures and extra steps involved with filing a claim against governmental entities, and it’s likely in your best interest to consult with an experienced Delray Beach personal injury attorney.

What if the property owner claims I was trespassing at the time of the accident?

Even if you were trespassing at the time of the accident, property owners still have a duty to maintain their premises’ standards and warn the public of known hazards. However, the legal implications of trespassing can muddy your case proceedings. An attorney can help you understand your options.

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.
