Slipping and falling because of a foreign substance on the floor of a business, public place, or a residence can cause injuries ranging from a twisted ankle to brain damage. If a serious injury happens, a legal avenue may be available to pay for the resulting monetary damages.
To find out, contact an experienced Delray Beach slip and fall lawyer for a free, no obligation consultation to evaluate if a legal cause of action is warranted. With the help of a qualified injury attorney, you can see what you are potentially owed.
The attorney will work on contingency, which means the attorney’s fees are paid by a small percentage of the money awarded for damages, but if the case is not successful the fee is not charged.
Slipping and falling is caused by something slippery which can be a liquid or an object. Stepping and falling involves stepping into a hole or over a rough surface. Tripping and falling happens when there is a protruding object such as a raised edge of a sidewalk or walkway.
Florida has a specific section of law (Florida Statute § 768.0755) for slip and fall cases that reaches into premises liability and personal injury laws.
The person who slips and falls has the burden of proof to show that the owners or controllers of the place where it happened knew that the hazard was there but did nothing about it. For example, a wet grocery store aisle is a hazard, and if the manager was told about it but did not assign an employee to quickly clean the area the manager had “constructive knowledge” of the hazard.
Constructive knowledge is provable by circumstantial evidence that shows the dangerous condition existed for long enough that a person at the establishment should have used ordinary care for corrective action and the dangerous condition happened often so the danger was foreseeable.
Personal injury is harm caused by the negligence of another person or entity. This area of law falls under Florida’s comparative negligence standard, which reduces the amount a person who causes an accident can claim in damages. Negligence has elements that the injured person must prove:
A Delray Beach slip and fall attorney can speak more towards what goes into proving negligence.
Taking legal action is to achieve a monetary award that will pay for the various losses that occurred, including:
In situations that exacerbate a previous injury, it may also be listed as damage under the “eggshell plaintiff” rule.
In Florida, someone who is injured in a slip and fall incident has two years to sue for damages.
A Delray Beach slip and fall lawyer will try to protect a person’s legal rights and stand up to companies and governments that will try to contest the fault of the slip and fall or limit damages. The first step is sending the offending party a letter demanding damages. If that is rejected, the attorney will file a lawsuit.
As many slip and fall cases are settled rather than going to trial, a Delray Beach slip and fall lawyer from Kogan & DiSalvo will try to negotiate a fair settlement that covers the injured party’s related bills and distresses.

Trust the Process – Outstanding Team, Remarkable Results
Working with Kogan & DiSalvo was one of the best decisions I could’ve made—and a huge part of that was thanks to Tiffany Fanelli. From start to finish, she and the team were knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely committed to helping me through every step of the legal process.
You really have to trust the process. It can be slow, and at times, it might feel like nothing is happening—but behind the scenes, your team is working hard. If you have questions, ask. If you’re not sure what to do, ask. That open communication made all the difference for me, and it helped me stay informed and confident the entire way through.
I can’t thank Tiffany and the firm enough for their hard work and support. Their patience, professionalism, and attention to detail led to an outcome that exceeded my expectations.
One more thing—if you don’t have UM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage, get it. Too many drivers out there are uninsured, and protecting yourself with UM coverage is essential. I’ve learned how crucial it is, and I hope others will too.
Highly recommend Kogan & DiSalvo, and especially Tiffany Fanelli, for anyone needing a reliable and compassionate legal team. Thank you all for All your hard work.

My Attorney at Kogan and DiSalvo were exceptional in my accident case. They were very straightforward about the possible outcomes and always seemed to be one step ahead in planning and strategizing for the next step. The paralegal staff was also courteous and prompt in their responses and kept me up to date. I am grateful for their services.

My car was rear ended on I95 in Virginia in a multi vehicle accident. My car was totaled and I had injuries that worsened days after.
Samantha, from Kogan and DiSalvo, was my point representative. They helped me arrange my medical treatment so I could recover while they took care of the paperwork. They dealt with the insurance companies, and the out of state police and witness reports.
After treatment I’m back to normal. Kogan and DiSalvo took the headache out of dealing with all involved parties.
I highly recommend them.

The time taken to listen to my concerns and ensure I understood every step of the process only echoed the principles and foundation on which this firm has been built.
