Keeping their premises clean and safe is the bare minimum a property owner must do. If you were hurt because of a negligent property owner, you could have grounds to file a case for compensation against them.
One of our slip and fall lawyers in Orange Springs, FL, can build and pursue a strong claim for you while youāre healing from your injuries. We have dedicated over 50 years to serving clients, and itās time for us to assist you. Reach out to Meldon Law today to begin.
Common Slip and Fall Injuries and Recoverable Damages
The injuries sustained in a slip and fall could wreak havoc on you physically, emotionally, and financially. Itās common for victims of these sorts of incidents to suffer:
- Pelvic and hip fractures
- Broken wrist or hands
- Soft tissue injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Shoulder dislocation
- Cuts and bruises
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Broken or sprained ankles
Fortunately, you wonāt have to figure out how to deal with these injuries, as well as their financial effects, on your own. An Orange Springs personal injury attorney on our team will investigate what happened and determine the forms of damages you may recoup. We have recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for clients. While we canāt promise the same for you because every case is different, we find that common losses in slip and fall cases include the following:
- Pain and suffering
- Lost income
- Future loss of earning power
- Mental anguish
- Past and future medical expenses
- Disfigurement and scarring
In the worst cases, victims pass away from their injuries. If thatās how you lost your loved one, one of our wrongful death lawyers can help you submit a claim or lawsuit for a financial recovery accounting for medical bills, funeral expenses, and loss of consortium. Whether you were injured or a loved one died, we wonāt back down from getting what you deserve.
Hiring One of Our Attorneys to Help You
Our team believes that skills, knowledge, and experience are the most important things in a case. We have been representing the injured since 1971. This experience means we know how the legal process works and want to make sure you understand it, too. Weāve written books, consumer guides, and blogs and even host a legal talk radio show called Law Talk Live so clients know what to expect.
When our slip and fall lawyers take your case, theyāll gather evidence to identify the cause of your incident and demonstrate negligence. The property owner must have known that a dangerous condition was present but failed to remove it from the premises or warn patrons about it. Photographs, an incident report, surveillance footage, and eyewitness testimony may reveal that the culprit was any of the following hazards:
- Cluttered walkways
- Slippery or wet floors
- Missing or defective handrails
- Loose rugs or mats
- Torn carpeting
- Uneven surfaces
- Inadequate lighting
- Cracked pavement
Once we get the full picture of your fall, we will show it to the insurance company and request compensation from them. Initially, it may not give you the amount you need, which will kickstart negotiations. Your attorney will go back and forth until they reach a settlement, which is the most likely outcome. Itās rare that weād have to go to trial, but if the insurer doesnāt cooperate, we wonāt hesitate to represent you in court.

We Must File Your Lawsuit Within a Limited Time
Acting quickly after a slip and fall is key. The state enforces tight deadlines that you must follow if you want to recover your damages. Per Florida Statutes Ā§ 95.11, most people suing a liable party have two years to do so. The timeline begins on the day of the slip and fall if youāre filing for personal injury, but those filing for wrongful death must act by the second anniversary of the victimās passing.
Our attorneys know how to build an effective case under strict time constraints. However, we need your help. We ask that you please let us know about your slip and fall as soon after it happens as possible. Any delay could put your right to compensation at risk, but giving us sufficient notice equips us to file before the time expires.
