Dunedin Slip and Fall Lawyer

FL Injury Lawyers (Home) / Dunedin Personal Injury Lawyer / Dunedin Slip and Fall Lawyer

When injured as a result of someone else’s negligence, it is important to hold the negligent party responsible and file an injury claim. Injuries that occur as a result of negligently maintained property can be quite serious and can interfere significantly with a person’s quality of life.

Therefore, to address the responsible parties and their insurance companies and receive proper compensation, it is important to have an experienced and trustworthy Dunedin slip and fall lawyer to help prepare an injury claim. An experienced Dunedin accident lawyer can assist both in guiding you through the legal process and ensuring that you are taken care of at each step of the way.

How Accidents Occur

A slip and fall accident might occur at a variety of places, from a local grocery store to a neighborhood meet-and-greet. They might occur inside a building or home, or they might occur on the outside grounds.

If someone is a customer or guest at a business or home, they have the reasonable expectation of being able to walk around free of dangerous hazards.

Slip and fall cases on public property are more challenging due to the difficulties of bringing suit against government entities, but this type of lawsuit can still be possible to bring depending on the circumstances with the assistance of a Dunedin slip and fall attorney.

Determining Liability

Someone who might reasonably expect visitors or customers must take care to ensure their property is in a safe condition.  Slip and fall accidents often occur in stores where many people are walking around. Hazardous floor conditions could be created, for example, by an entrance made slippery by rain or a spilled beverage.

If enough time has passed and there is evidence that those responsible for maintaining the properly should have known about the hazardous condition, this creates evidence of liability on the part of the property owners.

The same principle applies to other types of properties – if those responsible for maintaining the property should have been aware of a hazardous condition, they can be held liable for injuries occurring as a result of the hazardous condition. These damages can be pursued using a Dunedin slip and fall attorney.

If the injury occurs on property that is rented rather than owned, the landlord and/or the tenant might be responsible for injuries to others depending on the circumstances of the case. It is important to consult an experienced Dunedin slip and fall attorney to determine who to make a claim against in a slip and fall case.

Investigating a Dunedin Slip and Fall Accident

After an initial meeting with an attorney, the attorney will file necessary paperwork with relevant insurance companies and begin an investigation of the accident.

An investigation of the accident might include taking pictures of the places where the accident occurred, documenting injuries, ordering medical records and bills, discovering and preserving any video surveillance, and taking witness statements.

It is important to begin an investigation right away in order to preserve important evidence, which is another important reason for contacting a Dunedin slip and fall attorney as soon as possible.

Compensation for Loss

Depending on the circumstances, someone injured in a slip and fall case could potentially be compensated for a variety of damages, including:

  • Medical bills
  • Time lost from work
  • Lost future wages
  • Disfigurement
  • Pain and suffering

In order to make an argument to an insurance company or to the court at trial, it is important to gather evidence to prove that the plaintiff has suffered any applicable losses.
