What Losses may be Compensated After a Slip and Fall Injury at a Daytona Beach Publix?
Injuries can have life-changing effects, from the trauma of needed surgeries to possibly needing assistance with your daily activities for the rest of your life. While slip and fall accidents can involve minor injuries such as bruising, you are also at risk of hitting your head or back and incurring much more serious damage.
When one of our attorneys sits down with you, we review the full scope of your losses. We won’t stop at your current losses but will also examine your medical records and treatment plan to ensure that we fight for compensation for future losses that will likely result from your injuries.
Recoverable compensation may include:
- Past and future medical expenses, such as for surgeries, physical or rehabilitative therapy, appointments with medical specialists, and medications
- Lost income and loss of earning potential, if you need to miss work for recovery or if you are never able to return to work
- Loss of quality of life, such as no longer being able to take part in activities you once enjoyed
- Pain and suffering, both the physical pain you’ve endured as well as the emotional distress caused by it
Important Deadlines that Can Affect Fall Injury Compensation
If our attorneys in Daytona Beach decide to pursue a personal injury lawsuit to recover compensation, there are legal deadlines that you will need to abide by. For personal injury lawsuits in Florida, this deadline is typically two years from the date of the accident which caused your injuries.
If a loved one passed away due to a slip and fall accident, you are still under a two-year time limit for filing a wrongful death suit.
The Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine can ensure that any necessary timelines are followed when filing your case.
Common Causes of Slip and Fall Injuries
There are three Publix locations in Daytona Beach and more in surrounding areas. Accidents can happen at any of these locations at any time, but there are some hazardous conditions which can make them more likely. These include:
- Uneven flooring, such as loose tiles or buckled flooring
- Wet surfaces, such as a spill that hasn’t been properly mopped
- Cluttered floors, such as when store products or electrical cords are left lying in walking areas
- Poor lighting, especially in parking lots
- Handrail issues, for example in handicap-accessible bathroom stalls
While accidents can be the result of many factors, to recover compensation from an insurance company, our Daytona Beach Publix slip and fall injury attorneys need to prove that your accident was the result of negligence on the part of store ownership.
Proving Negligence After a Slip and Fall Injury at a Publix in Daytona Beach
In Florida, stores like Publix must try to remove or fix hazardous conditions. For a personal injury case, you must prove that they deliberately failed to fulfill their duty of care. For example, if you tripped over an electrical cord, the store would only be held liable if store ownership (or a representative of store ownership, like a manager) knew about the cord and didn’t try to mitigate the hazard.
One of our Publix slip and fall accident lawyers can gather and analyze evidence to prove a store’s liability and secure you a fair settlement. Our legal team may do so by:
- Obtaining video footage, such as from security cameras or cellphones
- Interviewing witnesses, such as employees or other customers
- Reviewing incident reports
- Consulting third-party experts, such as those who specialize in accident prevention or safety standards
- Going over your medical records
- Taking photos of the accident scene
Actions to Take After a Slip and Fall
If you’ve slipped and fallen at Publix, you should:
- Seek medical attention for your injuries
- Report the incident to a store manager
- Take photos, when possible, of your injuries and the hazardous conditions that caused your fall
Once you have completed these steps, you can speak to the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine. We are eager to learn about your situation and tell you how to seek fair compensation from negligent store owners.
