Seeking Compensation With Our Jacksonville Dollar General Slip And Fall Injury Lawyers
If the property owner’s or occupier’s negligence contributed to your slip or trip and fall accident and subsequent injury, you may be eligible for compensation for your losses. Although your losses are unique to your accident, in Florida, damages may include but not be limited to:
Medical Costs
Your surgeries, hospital stays, medical transport, medication, and other medical expenses from the time of the accident to the present may qualify for compensation. Our legal and medical experts will work with your healthcare team to understand what your future medical costs may be so that they can also be included in your compensation claim.
Loss Of Income And Future Earnings
Your injuries may preclude you from working during recovery. Your lost wages may be compensable, as may be the loss of future earnings and benefits if your injuries prevent your return to work.
Pain And Suffering
Meet with one of our Jacksonville Dollar General slip and fall injury attorneys to discuss incorporating your non-economic losses into your claim. Such losses often include:
- The physical pain you experience from your injury
- The mental anguish such an accident can induce
- The emotional trauma associated with a permanent disability or disfigurement
- The loss of quality of life
- The loss of or change in relationships
Injuries Often Associated With Slip And Fall Accidents
Slipping or tripping and falling in a shop can produce unexpectedly severe and life-altering injuries. According to the National Floor Safety Institute, over a million people visit emergency rooms each year with injuries such as:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Wrist, knee, or ankle sprains
- Broken bones
- Back and neck injuries
- Spinal cord damage
- Soft tissue damage
Understanding Negligence In Slip And Fall Cases
The owner or occupier of a store in Florida must exercise ordinary care to keep visitors safe. Lack of care may be evidenced by:
- The owner/occupier is aware of a dangerous condition but is not fixing it or warning visitors about it until it is fixed.
- The owner/occupier has constructive knowledge of a hazardous condition but does not remedy the problem. For instance, when using ordinary care, the business should have known about the hazard because it had been in place for a long time or because it was a recurring issue.
Common causes of slip and fall injuries include:
- Broken or uneven flooring
- Loose mats
- Spills or leaks
- Wet or icy entryways
- Debris in the aisles
- Broken pavement
- Poor lighting
Filing Your Slip And Fall Accident Lawsuit Before The Legal Deadline Expires
Our legal team at the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine will negotiate with the insurance company for the compensable damages you are due. While most personal injury cases settle out of court, it may be necessary to file a premises liability lawsuit if the insurers fail to negotiate in good faith.
Per Florida Statutes § 95.11, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to begin legal action. If you do not meet the deadline, you may not be allowed to pursue justice through the courts.
Steps To Strengthen Your Slip And Fall Injury Claim
There are several steps you can take after being injured in a slip and fall accident that may benefit your claim for compensation. If your injuries prevent you from taking action, our team members will help with the following:
- Collect copies of the in-house and police incident reports
- Gather documentation on all medical treatment associated with your injuries
- Review the store’s history of negligent actions
- Recover a copy of the store’s video surveillance
- Obtain eyewitness contact information
- Take pictures of your injuries and the area where you fell, as well as the reason for the fall (puddled liquid, broken tiles)
