Slip and fall accidents can happen to anyone, anytime and anywhere. Whether you’re at work or the grocery store, you’re always at risk of being harmed by poor or dangerous conditions on the property. While these incidents may sometimes seem like minor inconveniences, the severe injuries, costly medical bills and substantial pain and suffering they cause can’t be ignored. If you or a loved one has been injured in a slip and fall accident caused by dangerous conditions on someone else’s property, the attorneys at Kanner & Pintaluga will work hard to help you secure the settlement you deserve.

Property owners have an obligation to maintain a safe premises and warn visitors of any known hazards. If they fail to fulfill this duty, they may be held liable for any injuries sustained on the property as a result.
This protection generally doesn’t extend to trespassers except in narrow circumstances. Property owners cannot intentionally cause injuries to trespassers, but they may not be liable if a trespasser is injured by a hazard that would otherwise justify a personal injury claim were the victim a legal visitor.
Similarly, due to Florida’s comparative negligence laws, if the injured party is deemed to be partially responsible for the accident, their compensation may be reduced proportionately. The experienced attorneys at Kanner & Pintaluga will help you pursue fair compensation for what you’ve endured, whether you were partly at fault or not.
Establishing who is responsible for the accident can be difficult, especially if multiple parties – such as property owners, tenants or maintenance companies – are involved. Additionally, insurance companies won’t be on your side and may attempt to shift blame or downplay the severity of the incident, making it challenging for victims to receive fair compensation.
Proving the negligence of the property owner or possessor is crucial in slip and fall cases. However, evidence can be lost or difficult to collect, especially if the accident site is not preserved properly. Surveillance footage might be erased, witnesses could be challenging to locate and important details may fade from memory over time. Even delaying medical treatment after your accident can diminish your chances of receiving fair compensation.
Insurance companies may use the presence of pre-existing medical conditions to dispute the severity of injuries sustained in a slip and fall accident. They might argue that the injuries were not a direct result of the accident, which can be hard for victims to prove without the proper medical records.
