Can I sue for a slip and fall accident?

You can file a personal injury claim against the property owner after a slip and fall accident, but you must show that the property owner’s negligence contributed to or caused your slip, trip or fall. Property owners are responsible for maintaining safe conditions on their premises and can be held legally responsible for a slip and fall victim’s damages if the accident was due to the property owner’s irresponsible actions.

How much time do you have to sue after a slip and fall in Florida?

If you were injured in a slip and fall accident in Florida, you have four years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. This is called the statute of limitations.

Are slip and fall cases hard to win?

Slip and fall cases can be extremely difficult to win without the help of an experienced personal injury attorney. In order to have a successful claim, your lawyer must prove the property owner failed to perform their duty, and as a result of that negligence, you suffered harm or damages. Many property owners will deny being 100 percent at fault and will instead say the slip and fall accident was partially your fault. That’s why you need a knowledgeable personal injury attorney in your corner to protect your rights and aggressively advocate for your best interests.
