Understanding Slip and Fall Claims in Florida

What is a slip and fall?

A slip and fall is a personal injury based on slipping, tripping, or falling on someone else’s property.

Can you sue for slip and fall?

You can sue for slip and fall if the injury occurred because of an unreasonably dangerous condition on the property. The exact legal standard depends on the status of the person as an invitee, licensee, or trespasser and the circumstances surrounding the dangerous condition.

How much can you get for a slip and fall in Florida?

The amount that you may receive for a slip and fall depends on your personal losses. Each case is individually determined. Types of compensation that you may receive are:

  • Emergency medical bills, ambulance transfer, and hospitalization
  • Diagnostic care, surgery, prescription medication, doctor evaluation
  • Physical therapy and mental health care
  • Devices to assist in mobility, like wheelchairs and scooters
  • Property damage
  • Lost income, lost earning potential, including the value of benefits
  • Physical pain and suffering
  • Emotional anguish
  • Disfigurement, loss of lifestyle, compensation for permanent injury
  • Wrongful death damages, including funeral and last expenses

The amount that you receive depends on your personal losses. Receiving the compensation that you deserve means knowing what compensation you can ask for, valuing it, and taking the proper steps to claim it.

How do you get a settlement for a slip and fall?

To get a settlement for a slip and fall, you must claim it. That may mean negotiating with an insurance company, or it may mean filing a legal claim. You must prove all the elements necessary to receive compensation, including that the dangerous condition was the cause of the losses and harms.
