Injured in a Slip & Fall? You May Have More Than Just a Bruise.

A slip and fall can happen in seconds, but the injuries can last for months or even years.

Wet floors. Uneven sidewalks. Poor lighting. Dangerous stairs. Debris left in a walkway. When a property owner or business fails to address dangerous conditions, innocent people can get hurt.

Slip & Fall Accident Attorney in Florida

Slip and fall cases aren't always as straightforward as they seem. Insurance companies may question how the accident happened, whether the property owner knew about the dangerous condition, or whether you were partially responsible for your injuries.

That's why what happens immediately after an accident matters.

If you were injured because of a dangerous condition on someone else's property, you don't have to figure out what to do next alone. Our team can investigate the circumstances surrounding your fall, identify potentially responsible parties, gather evidence, and work to build a strong case on your behalf.

We look at the details:

  • What caused you to fall?
  • Where did the accident occur?
  • Whether the dangerous condition was known or should have been discovered?
  • How long the condition may have existed?
  • Whether the property owner or business had notice of the hazard?
  • Surveillance footage, photographs, incident reports, and witness statements?
  • Your medical treatment and the full extent of your injuries?
  • How have your injuries affected your work, family, and everyday life?

Common Causes of Slip & Fall Accidents

Property hazards aren't always obvious. Some of the most common causes of slip and fall accidents include:

  • Wet or slippery floors, spilled food or liquids
  • Uneven flooring or pavement
  • Broken or damaged sidewalks, or potholes
  • Loose rugs or carpeting
  • Poorly maintained stairs or handrails
  • Inadequate lighting
  • Clutter or debris in walkways
  • Dangerous parking lots
  • Construction hazards
  • Unsafe conditions in stores, restaurants, hotels, apartment buildings, and other properties

Common Slip & Fall Injuries

A fall can cause much more than a temporary ache or bruise. Depending on how you fall, you may suffer serious injuries from broken bones and fractures, to herniated or bulging discs, head injuries and traumatic brain injuries etc.

Some injuries may not be immediately apparent. Pain and other symptoms can develop or worsen in the hours or days following a fall.

Seeking medical attention after an accident is important not only for your health, but also for documenting your injuries and treatment.

Who is Responsible For a Slip & Fall Accident?

Florida property owners and businesses have responsibilities when it comes to maintaining reasonably safe premises. Depending on the circumstances, a property owner, business, landlord, property management company, or another party may potentially be held responsible for injuries caused by a dangerous condition. However, determining responsibility isn't always simple. A property owner may argue that they didn't know about the hazard. An insurance company may argue that the condition was obvious or that you should have avoided it. These cases often come down to the details and the evidence. That's where an experienced personal injury attorney can help.

Don't Let an Insurance Company Decide What Your Injury Is Worth

Reasons personal injury claims are undervalued by insurers

After a slip and fall, you may receive a call from an insurance company asking about the accident. Remember: the insurance company's goal is to resolve the claim, not necessarily to determine the full value of what you've been through. Your injuries may affect more than your medical bills. A serious fall can mean missed work, ongoing treatment, physical limitations, pain, emotional stress, and changes to your everyday life. At Kushel Law Group, we take the time to understand the person behind the injury—not just the accident report.
