Slip and Fall Liability

A property owner is not liable for every slip and fall accident that occurs on their property. To hold a property owner accountable for your medical bills and other losses, they must have done something that caused or contributed to your injuries.

Property owners have a responsibility to people that are invited onto their property. When the owner of a property fails to keep their property reasonably safe, they can be held financially responsible. To prove negligence, the injured party must prove that a reasonable length of time passed where the owner of the property failed to mitigate or remove the hazard on the property.

What is the Transitory Foreign Substance Law?

Under Florida law 768.0755, when an individual is involved in a slip and fall accident due to falling on a transitory substance, the injured party must prove that the business had constructive knowledge of the dangerous condition and should have cleaned it up. To prove the business had constructive knowledge, the injured party must show that the condition regularly occurred, making it foreseeable or that the dangerous condition existed for enough time for the store to discover it.

This can be very difficult to prove without the assistance of an experienced Bonita Springs slip and fall lawyer. An attorney on our legal team can gather vital evidence, such as security camera footage, eyewitness testimony, or photos, to help prove the dangerous conditions existed long enough that the business should have known about it.

Slip and Fall Compensation

The compensation you’re awarded in a slip and fall accident can depend on the severity of your injuries and other variables. As an example, if the injuries you sustained resulted in a permanent disability, it will result in a higher settlement or award compared to an accident victim who suffered a strain or sprain.

Your Bonita Springs slip and fall attorney will review your case to determine what economic and non-economic damages you’re entitled to. In some cases, a slip and fall accident victim can recover compensation for the following types of damages:

• Past and future medical bills
• Lost wages
• Impaired ability to earn income in the future
• Pain and suffering
• Personal property damage
• Loss of quality of life
• Emotional distress

And more.
