Slip & Fall Lawyer
Slip & Fall Accidents
Under Florida premises liability law, property owners—both residential and commercial—have a legal duty to maintain safe conditions on their premises. This includes repairing hazards, cleaning up spills, and providing clear warnings about dangerous areas. When they fail to do so, serious slip and fall accidents can occur, leaving victims with painful and sometimes life-changing injuries.
At The Law Offices of Ron Sholes our experienced Jacksonville slip and fall lawyers represent victims across Duval County who have been injured due to property owner negligence. Whether your fall happened at a grocery store, apartment complex, parking lot, or public property, we are here to help you understand your legal rights and pursue the compensation you deserve.
Common Slip & Fall Injuries
Many people—and even juries—wrongly assume that slip and fall injuries are minor. In reality, these accidents can result in broken bones, spinal injuries, concussions, and other serious harm. Proving fault in a premises liability case often requires immediate investigation, evidence gathering, and a strong legal strategy.
In reality, slip and fall accidents can—and do—lead to devastating injuries. These include:
- Broken bones/fractures
- Head injuries
- Back injuries
- Torn ligaments and other soft tissue damage
- Internal bleeding
- Knee, ankle, and shoulder injuries
Often, after a fall, people jump up quickly and attempt to brush off the accident. It is extremely important that you do not downplay your injuries, however, as this could be used later to dispute your personal injury claim.
In the immediate aftermath of the accident, you may not realize the full extent of your injuries, you may be in shock or even embarrassed, or you may simply not feel hurt. Remember, only a medical professional can accurately evaluate and diagnose your injuries; it is critical that you see a doctor as soon as possible after the accident.
When Is a Property Owner Responsible for Slip & Fall Injuries?
In most cases, property owners can be held liable for a slip and fall accident when the victim can prove that the property owner was negligent. There are several ways to establish property owner negligence, but the most common involves proving that a property owner knew about (or reasonably should have known about) a dangerous condition on the property yet did nothing to remove or repair it or warn others about it.
To file a slip and fall claim against a negligent property owner, you will likely also need to prove the following:
- You were lawfully on the property (not trespassing) when the accident occurred
- You were not being negligent/could not have taken reasonable steps to avoid being injured
- You were injured and suffered measurable damages, whether economic or non-economic (or both)
- The dangerous condition was the proximate cause of your injuries
