Experienced Florida Slip-and-Fall Injury Attorney
A slip-and-fall accident in Florida can happen anywhere, leaving victims with serious injuries and mounting medical bills. When property owners fail to maintain safe conditions, these preventable accidents can impact your ability to work, care for your family and enjoy daily activities.
My name is Christian A. Ferrer, and as a slip-and-fall lawyer at Ferrer Law PA, I focus on helping injury victims pursue the compensation they deserve. My work as a premises liability attorney centers on building strong cases while providing personal attention to each client’s unique situation.
Understanding Property Owner Liability
Through my years of experience, I have seen how property owners must follow specific responsibilities under Florida law. I help my clients understand how liability affects their claims. Property owners may be held liable for circumstances leading to slip-and-fall accidents, including:
- Failure to clean up spills or address wet floors promptly
- Inadequate maintenance of walkways, stairs and handrails
- Poor lighting in parking lots and common areas
- Failure to warn visitors of known hazards
- Improper snow and ice removal during winter months
I work to hold property owners accountable by proving they knew or should have known about these dangerous conditions.
Common Slip-and-Fall Injuries
In my practice, I have helped clients recover from severe trauma that affects their lives for months or years. These injuries frequently require extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation:
- Head injuries ranging from concussions to traumatic brain damage
- Back and neck injuries including herniated discs
- Broken bones, particularly hips, wrists and ankles
- Knee and shoulder damage requiring surgery
- Soft tissue injuries causing chronic pain
I understand how these injuries extend beyond physical pain to affect your work, family life and daily activities.
Taking Action After a Slip-and-Fall
From my experience handling these cases, I know that swift action helps preserve evidence and protect your legal rights. I recommend these important steps:
- Document the scene with photos of hazardous conditions
- Report the incident to property owners or managers
- Obtain contact information from any witnesses
- Seek immediate medical care for your injuries
- Keep records of medical bills and lost wages
I use this documentation to build the strongest possible case for your claim.
Frequently Asked Questions About Slip-And-Fall Injuries In Florida
A slip-and-fall injury can leave you with overwhelming medical bills and stress. You can help ease your pain by learning more about your legal rights. If you have any burning questions about your slip-and-fall lawsuit, I can help you get the answers you need. Here are a few frequently asked questions Ferrer Law PA clients ask me:
How do I know if I have a valid slip-and-fall claim?
To have a valid slip-and-fall claim, there must be evidence that supports the fact that a property owner’s negligence led to your injuries. This can be done by proving that a property owner had a duty to your safety by attending to hazardous conditions but failed to maintain safe conditions on their property. As a result of a property owner’s negligence, you must have suffered injuries that led to subsequent medical bills, lost wages and other damages. Do not guess about the validity of your claim. Let me hear your story and help you decide.
What kind of damages can I recover in a slip-and-fall lawsuit?
- Medical bills: Expenses for medical treatment, surgeries, hospital stay, long-term care, medical equipment, therapy and medication.
- Lost wages: Loss of income as a result of not working because of injuries and recovery time, and loss of future income as a result of disabilities.
- Pain and suffering: Emotional turmoil, loss of enjoyment of life, loss of companionship and disfigurement.
With my help, we can explore your losses and seek maximum compensation with a slip-and-fall lawsuit.
What steps should I take immediately after a slip-and-fall accident?
If you suffer from a slip-and-fall, you should immediately seek medical help to document the accident and have your injuries examined. You can also document the scene by collecting video or pictures of the accident and gathering witness information. You should also reach out to my firm and begin your free consultation to learn about your legal rights and recovery options.
When should I call a premises liability lawyer?
You should reach out to me, a premises liability lawyer, to talk about your case immediately. From the moment you have suffered your injuries, you have two years to file your case. We can immediately start building your case once you reach out to my office. We can gather evidence, file documents and negotiate a settlement that benefits you the most. Do not hesitate to reach out; if you have already suffered a slip-and-fall accident, then the timer to start your case has already started.
How are slip-and-fall settlements determined?
Every slip-and-fall accident settlement is unique. Several factors are considered when determining how much your case is worth. A few factors that are considered include the severity of your injuries, your medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering, and the property owner’s level of fault. I can calculate the amount of damages you should reasonably recover from your slip-and-fall claim. I may be able to settle your case outside of court, which could maximize your settlement offer without lengthy court battles.
