If you have been involved in a slip and fall or any type of injury while on the premises of another, please contact our firm immediately. Our team of Miami Slip and Fall Attorneys and Ft. Lauderdale Slip and Fall Attorneys will be able to assist you right away. You may call the office directly or you can easily call our cell phone. We are here for you 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. We will immediately gather the facts about the incident and guide you through the claim process to make sure you and your potential claim are properly protected.

The most important thing to do in a slip and fall or any type of premises liability claim is to notify the manager so that they have a record of the incident and to gather evidence. This is because many times the cause of the fall or the cause of the injury will be cleaned up or removed by the premises owner and then they may deny any fault. Therefore, it is imperative that you take photographs of the area where the injury occurred and to make sure that you know exactly what caused your fall and/or your injury. Whether it be water on the floor or some other foreign substance, an area that is not level, or a loose carpet, rug, or mat, you must document this with a photograph. Do not forget to take photographs of your own injuries as well.

The premises owner will want to gather some information about you and the incident and therefore obtain a copy of anything that you must fill out or refuse to fill it out. If you fail to obtain this copy at the time, the premises owner and/or the insurance company will probably refuse to ever provide it and they may not be required to provide it as the law many times protects it as a work product.

Do NOT speak with the insurance company until you have spoken with our firm. Anything that you say will be used against you during the claims process and many times this information is recorded. Advise the insurance to contact our Miami and Ft. Lauderdale Slip and Fall attorneys immediately.

The legal term for the cause of action for injuries sustained in a slip and fall is premises liability. Premises liability also includes the following:

1. Slip and Falls

2. Trip and Falls

3. Elevator injuries

4. Attacks at stores or in parking lots and many other types of injuries sustained at or on someone else’s premises.

It is our job to make sure that you understand all of your rights and understand the process. Our attorneys will make sure that the proper owners of the premises and/or facility are notified, that all available insurance policies are placed on notice, preserve all of the evidence that will be necessary for your case, and do everything possible to obtain justice for you due to your injuries. Many times, it is difficult to locate the actual owner or the actual operator and therefore an experienced attorney is necessary to make sure the proper parties are located and held accountable.

If your injury occurred at a mall, movie theatre, grocery store, office building, or any other building or business, these entities have a legal duty to make their premises safe from any reasonably foreseeable harm. You are not legally entitled to damages for your injuries just because you have been injured. You must prove that the landowner and/or business and/or operator was negligent and either did something wrong to cause your injury or failed to do something that would have prevented your injury. This is sometimes referred to as the owner and/or operator must have had notice of a dangerous condition and also had the opportunity to cure the dangerous condition prior to the incident. Our experienced personal injury attorneys will work with you to determine the facts that will assist in proving the claim.

Our Miami Slip and Fall Lawyers and Ft. Lauderdale Slip and Fall Lawyers will do their best to make sure that you receive the compensation that you deserve. If we cannot negotiate a reasonable settlement that you are happy with, then a lawsuit will be filed against the responsible parties for premises liability.

If you have been injured you may be entitled to compensation for the following according to Florida Law:

1. Reimbursement for all of your medical bills including fire rescue and hospital bills

2. Lost wages that you have incurred

3. Pain and Suffering both in the past and in the future

4. Future loss of earnings

5. Future medical bills that will be necessary

WE ARE HERE TO HELP YOU WITH THE ENTIRE PROCESS AND TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU RECEIVE THE COMPENSATION THAT YOU DESERVE.
