Winter Springs Slip and Fall Attorney

There are many ways a victim can be injured in a slip and fall accident. These injuries include:

• Soft tissue injuries;
• Broken bones;
• Traumatic brain injuries;
• Spinal cord injuries; and
• Cuts.

Slip and fall injuries can have severe, even permanent, complications like paralysis, reduced cognitive function, risks of hemorrhaging and severe blood loss, and permanent disfigurement. In some cases, a slip or fall can even result in a victim’s premature death.

Pursuing Compensation for your Slip and Fall Damages

Through a personal injury claim, you can pursue monetary compensation for the following:

• Your medical bills;
• Your lost wages; and
• Your pain and suffering damages.

In order to recover compensation for these damages, you must demonstrate that:

• Another party had a duty to protect you from harm;
• That other party breached his or her duty;
• The breach resulted in a slip or fall; and
• You were injured in the slip or fall and suffered specific financial damages as a result.

Your lawyer can help you prove these points with valid pieces of evidence like:

• Photographs of the accident;
• Copies of your medical bills;
• A copy of the official police report for the accident if one exists;
• Eyewitness testimonies of the accident; and
• Documentation showing how the injury impacted your quality of life.

When you are pursuing a personal injury claim, your lawyer’s role is to advocate for you. Often, this means negotiating with the negligent party’s insurance provider and determining whether filing a personal injury lawsuit is in your best interest.
