A slip and fall accident can turn your life upside down in seconds, leading to painful injuries, medical bills, and time away from work. At Xenick Lebedeker Pepin, we understand the stress and disruption that comes with a serious fall. Our Florida slip and fall lawyers are here to help you understand your legal rights and pursue the compensation you deserve.
If you were injured due to a property owner’s negligence, you may have a valid claim under Florida’s premises liability laws. Let our experienced legal team evaluate your situation and fight for the outcome you deserve.
What Is a Slip and Fall Case?
Slip and fall cases fall under the broader category of premises liability, which holds property owners responsible when unsafe conditions cause harm. To bring a successful claim, we must prove that the property owner knew or should have known about the dangerous condition and failed to address it.
Common slip and fall hazards include:
- Wet or slippery floors in stores and restaurants
- Uneven sidewalks or pavement
- Loose rugs or floor mats
- Poor lighting in stairwells or hallways
- Spilled substances or cluttered walkways
- Broken handrails or steps
- Any other defect that causes an injury
Florida Slip and Fall Laws: What You Need to Know
Florida law requires property owners to maintain safe conditions for guests, customers, and visitors. However, these cases can be legally complex.
Key legal concepts to understand:
- Comparative Negligence: Under Florida Statutes § 768.81, if you are found partially responsible for your fall, your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault, but you can still recover damages even if you are partially at fault.
- Statute of Limitations: You generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit in Florida. But it is best to contact a West Palm Beach, Florida slip and fall lawyer right away.
