Commonly Asked Questions

What should I do immediately after a slip and fall accident?

If you experience a slip and fall accident, the first step is to ensure your safety. Check for any injuries and seek medical attention if necessary. Document the scene by taking photos and gathering witness information. Report the incident to the property owner or manager as soon as possible.

How long do I have to file a claim for a slip and fall accident in Florida?

In Florida, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim, including slip and fall cases, is typically two years from the date of the accident. However, it is advisable to consult with a legal professional as soon as possible.

Do I need to hire a lawyer for my slip and fall case?

While it is not mandatory to hire a lawyer for a slip and fall case, having legal representation can significantly benefit your situation. An attorney can help navigate the complexities of your case, negotiate with insurance companies, and advocate for your rights.

How Can Evidence From the Scene Help My Slip-And-Fall Claim?

Evidence from the scene of a slip-and-fall can significantly bolster your claim by providing concrete details about the conditions that led to the accident. Photographs, for instance, can capture hazards such as wet floors, uneven surfaces, or lack of warning signs. This visual proof can be used to demonstrate the property owner's negligence and establish a direct link between the hazardous conditions and your injuries.

Can Waiting to File a Lawsuit Affect My Slip-And-Fall Claim in Florida?

Yes, delaying the filing of a lawsuit for a slip-and-fall accident in Florida can negatively impact your claim. It's important to remember that you only have two years to file a claim. Furthermore, insurance companies may argue that the severity of your injuries is questionable if there is a significant gap between the accident and legal action. Prompt filing helps to avoid such disputes and also ensures that evidence remains fresh and witnesses' memories are clear, which is crucial for a strong case.

Why Is it Important to Contact an Attorney After a Slip-And-Fall in Florida?

Contacting an attorney after a slip-and-fall in Florida is essential because they can assess whether negligence played a role in your accident and inform you of your legal options. Our Bonita Springs slip-and-fall attorneys can initiate an investigation, collect evidence, and potentially work with experts to reconstruct the accident, which strengthens your claim. With us at your side, you can focus on recovery while we manage your case.
