Expenses You May be Able to Recover in Your Slip and Fall Claim

A successful slip and fall case may entitle you to compensation for any of the following:

• Medical expenses: This can include emergency room bills, ongoing treatment, prescriptions, long-term care, etc.
• Lost wages: You can recover compensation for wages you lost during recovery. This can include time you had to take off to attend appointments or days in which you were unable to perform your duties.
• Lost earning capacity: If your slip and fall-related disability caused you to take another job or retire, you can recover compensation for the wages you should currently be earning.
• Pain and suffering: You are entitled to compensation for the pain your injury caused.
• Mental anguish: Injuries can come with intense mental anguish and the development of disorders such as anxiety or depression.

When the Property Owner Might Be At Fault for Your Slip and Fall

To recover compensation for your slip and fall injuries, we must establish the property owner caused or contributed to your accident.

The property owner may be liable if:

• They failed to keep the premises safe;
• They failed to inform visitors that there were hazardous conditions on the property;
• They failed to block off the unsafe area. An example would be if the owner failed to block off construction on the property; or
• They knowingly allowed an employee to create an unsafe situation.

Your Status Affects Your Ability to Recover Compensation for Your Injuries

During our initial consultation, we may ask you if you had the legal right to be on the property where you fell. Florida law categorizes visitors to a property in three ways:

• Invitee: The property owner permits you to be on the property. They own a business that is open to the public, or they explicitly invited you onto the property. Examples may include:
  • Customers or business clients
  • Condominium or rental house occupants
  • A partnership with another company
• A Licensee: The property owner permits you to enter the property for a specified purpose. Examples may include:
  • Employees who are off-duty
  • A salesperson
  • Someone who entered the property to use a restroom
• A Trespasser: The property owner does not permit you to be on the property. The property owner is not responsible for your slip and fall accident unless there was intent to harm you. Some examples may include.
  • A burglar
  • Someone who disregards a ‘No Trespassing’ sign
  • Someone who shows up at a social gathering uninvited

In any case, you may want to seek the legal counsel of a slip and fall attorney to determine what your options are.

Which insurance company may cover the loss?

• Homeowner’s policy: If you slipped and fell at someone’s home, their homeowner’s insurance will likely compensate you for your injuries.
