Here’s What You Should Know About Slip and Fall Injuries in Florida
If a slip and fall incident occurs in Florida, the party responsible for the incident may be held liable for the victim’s injuries. This means that if you were injured in a slip and fall incident on someone’s property, the owner of the premises or the individual who caused the incident may be liable for your injuries.
If your slip and fall was due to any of the following, we can help you hold the responsible party liable for your injuries:
- A spill on a walking surface
- An uneven and unsafe walking surface
- Faulty footwear that caused or contributed to the incident
- Snow or ice that wasn’t cleared from a property
- Inadequate work safety precautions
- Tripping hazards, like unsafe stairs or a ladder in a walkway
A slip and fall injury lawyer from our firm can represent you and potentially prove the responsible party’s negligence as well as their liability for your injuries. If the home or store owner did not provide ample warning of the potential hazard, and they knew it existed, we will build a case for compensation on your behalf.
You May Be Entitled to Compensation for Slip and Fall-Related Injuries
Here in Florida, our lawyers represent many different clients with various injuries. Many of these clients are eligible for monetary compensation. Common types of compensation we recover include:
- Any wages you lost (and related losses) due to being out of work
- Any future loss of income or loss of earning potential
- Any medical expenses you incurred, including expenses for rehabilitation, medical devices, medication, and more
- Medical expenses you still have, such as ongoing treatment
- Continual care you require, like long-term facility care or in-home care
- Quality-of-life damages, like emotional, mental, or physical suffering
The losses associated with slip and fall incidents can be very high, especially for seniors. In fact, America’s Health Rankings reports that in 2015, the average direct medical cost of a senior’s non-fatal fall injury was $9,780. You shouldn’t have to incur such losses for your or a loved one’s injuries.
A lawyer at the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine serving Apopka and the surrounding areas will work to establish your claim by gathering evidence that supports your case. You can also expect your lawyer to pursue due compensation for your losses.

There Is a Deadline to File a Negligence Lawsuit in Florida
Florida has a statute of limitations for lawsuits founded on negligence. When an incident occurs, the victim has a set period of time to file a lawsuit for negligence. In Florida, this period is four years from the date of the incident, per Florida Statutes § 95.11(3)(a). If you do not file within the four-year period, you will most likely not be able to pursue a lawsuit.
