Our commitment is to your success, and we invest our time and resources in pursuing the compensation available under Florida law.
Seeking Legal Representation for Slip and Fall Cases
Some personal injury cases are more easily handled without legal assistance; however, slip and fall, property negligence, and premises liability cases present distinct challenges requiring professional guidance. Here are two primary reasons why you should consider legal representation:
Complex Liability Issues
Slip and fall accidents often involve liability disputes. Property owners and insurers may resist acknowledging responsibility. Recent changes to Florida civil law can also make disputed-liability injury claims more difficult. Having an attorney on your side can be important when navigating these issues.
Disputed Damages
Defendants in slip and fall, property negligence, and premises liability cases frequently challenge the extent of the plaintiff’s injuries and losses. A dedicated legal advocate can help pursue compensation for damages allowed by Florida law.
Our Attorney’s Role in Slip and Fall, Property Negligence, and Premises Liability Cases
In a slip and fall, property negligence, and/or premises liability case, our attorney’s primary goal is to develop and present a strong claim to the defendant and their insurance company. Since these cases revolve around issues of liability and damages, many may result in having to file a lawsuit. At Espat Law, we not only handle all litigation issues and the jury trial, but we also handle any appellate issues during or after the case. Let’s look at the critical role an attorney plays in addressing these concerns:
Establishing Fault for Your Slip and Fall
Your attorney investigates every aspect of your fall to build a compelling case. This includes examining your actions, surroundings, and contributing factors, such as hazardous substances, defects, obstructions, or property design and maintenance issues. Oftentimes, property owners have surveillance footage that, under Florida law, they may have a responsibility to preserve. The attorney will also assess whether relevant laws were violated and strengthen your case with expert insights. Certain building code standards may apply, or the property owner may have violated maintenance schedules or protocols for maintaining the property.
A property owner in Florida is responsible for providing warnings to the public of dangerous conditions that exist on the property and are not readily discoverable. An owner is also responsible for maintaining their premises in a reasonably safe condition. If the owner fails to do one or both, the property owner may be legally responsible for your injuries and damages.
Proving All Losses Caused by Your Slip and Fall
Demonstrating the extent of your injuries and losses goes beyond simply reciting facts. Your attorney compiles records of your lost income, organizes medical records and bills, and creates a comprehensive overview of all losses resulting from your slip and fall, property negligence, and/or premises liability case. This may include economic losses, such as medical bills, future medical treatment, and lost wages, as well as non-economic losses, such as pain and suffering, mental anguish, inconvenience, loss of enjoyment of life, and emotional distress. This helps support the compensation available under Florida law.
