Ongoing medical treatment
Lost income and lost earning capacity
Physical pain and suffering
Mental anguish and emotional distress
Lost quality of life
Wrongful death damages on behalf of a fatally injured loved one

Golf Cart Accident

Our client tragically lost his life when a distracted golf cart driver crashed into our client while he was riding his bicycle. Our client was an avid cyclist and was riding his usual route when a golf cart made a left turn and cut across our client’s bike path. The impact of the collision was so severe that our client was knocked off his bicycle into the air and landed in the roadway. Due to the golf cart driver’s failure to adhere to standard traffic regulations and exercise due caution, our client was tragically killed. Our office is pursuing a wrongful death action on behalf of the surviving family.

Traumatic Brain Injury

Our client was severely injured in an intersection crash. She suffered two (2) significant “jolts” – the first from when she was T-boned in the intersection, and the second from when the original impact caused her to strike a utility pole. The crash caused highly painful low back injuries, initially forcing the client to undergo aggressive pain management, including radiofrequency ablations (nerve burning). A highly compelling, emotional video was prepared featuring testimony from the client and her Aunt about the mental, emotional, and physical problems the client has faced since the crash. The case settled pre-suit for $500,000.00.

Car Accident

Our client was a driving on a curved road in a residential neighborhood in South Florida at midnight when he was struck head-on by a high-performance sportscar traveling at a very high rate of speed. One of the witnesses to the crash was a U.S. Army Officer who saw the sportscar literally “fly through the median” prior to striking our client’s vehicle. Fortunately, the at-fault vehicle initially struck bushes and knocked over a palm tree prior to the collision, otherwise the injuries to our client most likely would have been fatal. A life care plan for the client was prepared by a highly qualified, well respected certified life care planner hired by our firm, and ultimately, the case settled for $500,000.00.

$450,000

Motorcycle Accident

Our client was preparing to stop when the car driven behind them failed to notice and crashed into the rear of our client’s vehicle. The hit was of such force that it knocked our client’s vehicle into oncoming traffic where he ultimately came to a stop in the ditch on the opposite side of the road. Our client suffered catastrophic injuries. The case ultimately settled pre-suit for $450,000.00.

Our Belleview Slip & Fall Attorneys Will Build Your Claim While You Recover

Winning compensation for a slip & fall claim requires proving that a negligent property owner, building manager, or tenant did not maintain their premises and allowed a dangerous condition to exist.

Our Belleview premises liability lawyers can visit the accident scene, collect physical evidence, take photographs and video of the property, and interview eyewitnesses. We can also obtain copies of official incident reports, police reports, and your medical records. We will use pay stubs, medical bills, receipts, and estimates to show that your injury led to financial losses. We can call on experts, like doctors and economists, to testify on your behalf when needed.

We handle homeowners and renters insurance claims and commercial liability claims. We can assist you if your slip, trip, and fall happened on residential property or at a business, including at a:

Store, mall, or shopping center
Movie theater
Restaurant
Bar or nightclub
Hotel or vacation property
Gym
Stadium
Theme park

We Will Push Back Against Defenses Aimed at Reducing Your Damages

To defend against slip & fall claims, property owners (and their insurance and legal representatives) may allege you were trespassing or engaging in negligent behavior, like looking at your phone instead of watching your step. Any allegations against you are designed to reduce the at-fault party’s financial liability.

Florida follows a modified comparative negligence system. The law, outlined in Florida Statutes § 768.81, states that any negligence the court assigns to a victim will reduce their awards by that amount. However, if the degree of fault is above 50 percent, the injured party cannot recover any damages.

Our law firm will fight back against claims that blame you for your accident.

What Is the Statute of Limitations for Slip & Fall Accidents in Florida?

Florida Statutes § 95.11 allows you two years to file a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit at the Marion County Courthouse. If you do not pursue your slip & fall case within this widow, the court will likely bar you from taking legal action. An expired statute of limitations will also hurt any chances of recovering compensation through an insurance settlement.
