What is a slip and fall? A slip and fall accident is precisely what it sounds like – an injury that occurred because the plaintiff lost his or her footing and fell. Injuries that result from such falls can range from sprains and bruises to broken bones, traumatic head injury, even paralysis. Accordingly it is important to understand what rights you have, and who is responsible under Florida law to pay for the expenses associated with that injury. For instance, it matters from a legal standpoint whether you were a customer, a guest, or a trespasser when the accident occurred, as liability can shift dramatically depending on context.

The good news is that Florida state law allows for considerable damages to be assigned and given to the plaintiff if liability is assigned to the owner of the property. You can recover not only medical bills, but future expenses for therapy and nursing care, as well as lost income, and lost quality of life. The key is to determine what kind of liability is involved – was the owner of the property absent-minded or grossly negligent, and was the severity of the injury directly related to that negligence? These are questions for a jury to decide, which is why you want to work with an experienced Jacksonville personal injury attorney.
