Understanding Liability in a Slip and Fall Claim
When you are on someone else’s property legally, the owner has a duty to prevent or correct hazards that could injure you. For example, if a store owner knows about uneven floor tiles that are a trip hazard, they must either post a warning or fix the flooring. If they fail to correct a known hazard, the property owner could be liable for damages under premises liability laws.
To prove a premises liability claim in Florida, the injury victim must be able to prove that the owner, manager, or other responsible party knew (or should have known) about the dangerous condition that led to the slip, trip, or fall.
Meldon Law knows how to investigate a slip and fall accident and gather evidence to establish the cause. We interview witnesses, obtain incident reports, and seek other evidence, such as complaints and repair requests, to further support your case. Our team is not afraid to go up against giant companies and their insurers to fight for your compensation.

Call UsCompensation You Could Recover for a Slip and Fall Accident
Injuries from a slip, trip, or fall can range from minor bruising to strained muscles, broken bones, and even traumatic brain injury. No matter how minor your injury seems, you may need medical care and rehabilitation to return to normal. Catastrophic injuries could require lifelong treatment and financial support.
Meldon Law aggressively pursues compensation for the full scope of your damages, including both economic and non-economic losses.
Economic Damages
Economic damages are the monetary losses you suffered because of your slip and fall. They include medical expenses, lost income, property damage, and any other expenses related to your injuries. If your injuries are catastrophic or disabling, you may also recover economic damages for future earnings you lost because of disability or impairment.
Non-Economic Damages
Non-economic damages include pain and suffering, emotional distress, and other losses that cannot be quantified using bills, invoices, or other financial documentation. Our slip and fall lawyers consider all the ways your injuries affect your current and future quality of life and seek a monetary settlement for those losses.

Don’t Delay – Legal Filing Deadlines Pass Quickly
A common mistake injury victims make is waiting too long to file a claim. While you may think you should wait until after you have completed treatment to get started, prompt legal attention is actually better. If you contact Meldon Law right after your accident, we can begin the investigation while you undergo treatment.
There are a few reasons why quick legal action benefits you:
- It lets us preserve and gather evidence before it changes or disappears.
- It allows us to interview witnesses while they still remember details about the incident.
- It gives us time to build a case and file a lawsuit within the statute of limitations.
Florida Statutes § 95.11 only gives injury victims two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. If you miss this deadline, you could lose the opportunity to recover compensation. Don’t risk it – call Meldon Law as soon as possible to get started.
