A slip and fall can lead to serious, life-changing injuries, especially if you fracture a limb or hit your head.

What to Do After a Florida Slip and Fall

Even a seemingly minor slip and fall tends to knock the wind out of you. It may take a few moments for you to collect yourself and process what happened. If you do not notice any major injuries, you may be tempted to shrug the incident off and go about your day. This is a mistake: Many slip and fall-related injuries will not be visible to the naked eye, and there are certain steps you should take to protect your rights before you leave the scene.

After a slip and fall, you should:

  • Decide if you need emergency medical attention. Do not hesitate to call 9-1-1 if your head hurts, if you do not feel well, or if you have sustained one or more serious injuries. 
  • Gather evidence. If you do not think you need immediate medical attention, look around the area where you fell and attempt to figure out what happened. Did you slip on a slick surface? Did you trip on uneven tiling? Take pictures of any hazards or other conditions that may have contributed to the fall. 
  • Speak to the person in charge. Ideally, you should speak to the property owner, but they may not be present or available. Be sure to talk to whoever is currently in charge – an on-site manager, for example – and tell them what happened. Stick to the facts and do not admit any level of fault. Ask for any available security camera footage and insist they write an official incident report. Do not leave until you get a copy of this report. 
  • Collect contact information. Get the names and phone numbers of the person in charge and/or the property owner as well as any witnesses. 
  • Get a medical examination. Even if you are confident that you did not sustain any major injuries, you should still see a doctor right away. Many people suffer from traumatic brain injuries after hitting their heads in a slip and fall. These injuries will often not be immediately apparent and can lead to devastating health consequences if left untreated.
  • Contact our Orlando slip and fall attorney. The property owner or their representatives may reach out in the days after your fall. Do not make any statements, answer any questions, or sign any releases before you speak to a legal professional. Anything you say can and probably will be used against you, and accepting a settlement will likely prevent you from filing a personal injury lawsuit. We can walk you through the next steps and take care of communications with the property owner on your behalf. 

Recovering Compensation through a Florida Slip and Fall Lawsuit

Florida law specifically outlines what it takes to win a slip and fall case. You must prove you slipped on a “substance,” the substance created a dangerous condition, the property owner knew or should have reasonably known about this dangerous condition, and they did not fix it. We know how to prove these elements and establish negligence in court.

You will in most cases only have two years from the date of the accident to file a slip and fall lawsuit. If a slip and fall later results in death, you will have two years from the date of your loved one’s passing to pursue a wrongful death claim.

A slip and fall lawsuit can help you recover compensation for many types of losses, including:

  • Medical expenses
  • Lost wages
  • Physical pain and suffering
  • Mental anguish
  • Loss of consortium
  • Property damage

The property owner may try and claim you were partially responsible for your slip and fall. The good news is you can still recover some compensation if the court agrees you are partly to blame. You will be assigned a percentage of fault, which will determine how much you can potentially recover. You will only be able to get 90% of your total damages if the court decides you are 10% responsible, for example. 

Many slip and fall claims never make it to trial, and the property owner in your case may attempt to settle out of court. Our team at The Gray Law Firm, LLC is committed to protecting your interests and will always pursue the best possible outcome.
