How Injuries Often Occur

There are numerous situations where slip and fall injuries could occur. Some falls are the result of negligence, while others are largely unavoidable. Even when you are careful, unexpected conditions can lead to a slip and fall accident, such as:

  • Unmarked wet or otherwise slippery surfaces
  • Food or beverage spills
  • Inadequate lighting
  • Uneven surfaces
  • Poorly maintained flooring
  • Damaged carpets or floor mats

Depending on the circumstances of your fall and the type of property where it occurred, someone’s negligence may be the reason your slip and fall occurred, in which case you may be able to recover compensation with the help of our experienced slip and fall attorneys in Stuart. If you are wondering why you should hire a lawyer, consider that these types of cases can become complex because the parties associated with the property may work quickly to try to get you to accept an unfairly low settlement. Our attorneys have decades of experience with slip and fall cases, and we can fight tirelessly to maximize the compensation you can get for your injury.

Common Types of Slip and Fall Injuries

Slips, trips, and falls can result in a wide range of physical injuries. These injuries can occur when you strike the ground after losing your balance. Some fall injuries involve twisting joints or breaking bones as you attempt to brace yourself during the fall.

Some of the common injuries in slip and fall cases include:

  • Sprains and strains
  • Concussions and other traumatic brain injuries
  • Cuts and lacerations
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Paralysis
  • Leg injuries
  • Back injuries

Each of these injuries could be disruptive in your daily life. If you are recovering from a serious injury from a fall that was not your fault, you could be entitled to a monetary award. Whether you suffered a traumatic brain injury or broken bones, our firm could aggressively pursue justice on your behalf.

Determining Negligence

Property owners, people leasing properties, and property managers have certain duties and obligations they must fulfill. When they don’t, and an injury results, then they may be held responsible for causing the injury. For example, they have certain obligations to maintain reasonably safe conditions at their properties, or to provide you with a warning of unsafe conditions that have not yet been attended to.

If you have a case, you may be able to recover compensation for the following and for other things:

  • Current and future medical expenses
  • Loss of wages
  • Rehabilitative therapy expenses
  • Pain and suffering

Our lawyers have all of the resources, knowledge, and skill of a leading law firm, and we provide each of our clients with personal service. We will work to help you address your immediate needs after your slip and fall, such as making sure you get the medical care you need. Then we will begin building your case as you focus on getting better.

Compensation for a Slip & Fall Injury

When you hire an attorney to pursue a premises liability case on your behalf, your ultimate goal is to secure financial compensation for your injuries. The value of your potential settlement might not be certain, but our firm will work tirelessly to identify the full amount you are rightfully owed and help you secure the compensation you deserve.

Some of the types of damages that could be available to you include:

  • Medical bills. Your medical expenses could be substantial following a slip, trip, or fall. From emergency room care to ongoing treatment, these expenses can cause sudden and unexpected financial strain. Thankfully, you could recover compensation that pays for this treatment.
  • Lost wages. Missing work can be unavoidable following a slip and fall accident. Any time you miss work, you could also lose out on the wages you were counting on. For serious injuries, you could lose out on weeks or months of income. Replacing that income could be possible through a personal injury lawsuit.
  • Pain and suffering. Physical pain and suffering can come with any slip and fall accident. The injuries often heal over time, but there are situations when your pain could become chronic. This is common following nerve injuries or brain trauma. You could recover compensation based on your pain and suffering.
  • Diminished future earnings. Some injuries are so severe that they permanently limit your ability to perform certain tasks. If your disabling injuries limit the type of work you can do, it could have a negative impact on your future earning potential. You could be entitled to financial compensation based on the wages you will miss out on in the future.

Our firm could review all of the facts of your case before advising you on what it might be worth. Our team is ready to aggressively pursue a fair outcome in your case. Reach out today to learn how we could help.

What does a slip and fall lawyer cost?

Concerned about the cost of hiring an attorney following a slip and fall accident? That is understandable. Attorneys might have developed a reputation for high fees, but you have the opportunity to pursue your case without paying anything upfront. This is thanks to our firm’s approach to billing. We only take slip and fall cases on a contingency fee basis.

A contingency approach to billing gives you the opportunity to move forward with your case without paying anything out of pocket. Our attorneys only collect a fee if we recover damages on your behalf. We keep a pre-determined portion of anything we collect in your case, meaning you will only pay legal fees if you recover damages in your case.

In the rare cases where we are unsuccessful, you will never owe us anything in your case. That means you can move forward with a personal injury lawsuit without facing the risk of walking away with nothing but a bill from your attorney.

I’m very grateful to Kogan & DiSalvo Personal Injury Lawyers for the work they put into my case especially Samantha, the paralegal. She was a key part of the process from start to finish. Samantha made everything clear and straightforward, always taking the time to explain things and keeping everything on track. Her experience and efficiency really stood out. I’m thankful she was part of the team and truly appreciate everything she did.

Three years ago I had an injury while away on vacation and contacted Kogan and DiSalvo the next day. Their entire team were absolutely great from my initial call and intake, to trial date and settlement.
My attorney, George, helped me through every step of the process. He always kept me informed on the progress of the case and always responded to any questions I had.
I highly recommend Kogan & DiSalvo, a law firm that truly cares about their clients.

The firm was great with my case.

I had the pleasure of working with Todd Baker and, more closely, Paul Sylvestri on my case. From the very beginning, Paul was not only thorough and knowledgeable, but also made me feel truly supported. He handled every step with urgency and care, ensuring that the process moved forward efficiently, far faster than I expected, given how long cases like mine can often drag on.

What stood out most was how genuinely I felt treated as a person, not just another case file. I quickly learned that most personal injury law firms make clients feel like they’re just part of a revolving door. That was never the case here. Paul and his team prioritized my well-being and worked hard to ensure I was fairly and fully compensated for my suffering.

Their professionalism, compassion, and commitment made an overwhelming situation much more manageable. I’m incredibly grateful for the outcome and the way I was treated throughout the process. I couldn’t have asked for a better team.

I was fortunate to be represented by this amazing law firm after a car accident, and I have nothing but gratitude for their work. From the very first contact, they demonstrated professionalism, empathy, and a genuine commitment to resolving my case in the best possible way.

I want to especially highlight Stephany Herrera, who was my first point of contact. From the beginning, she was open, attentive, and truly listened to me. Thanks to her, I was connected with attorney Paul Silvestri, who, along with the entire team, handled my case with excellence, keeping me informed every step of the way.

Thanks to their dedication and hard work, my case was successfully resolved. I highly recommend this firm to anyone in need of legal assistance. Thank you again to the entire team for your support and commitment.

Absolutely astonishing to work with. Not only has every question I’ve asked been answered, everyone has made everything in the process very pleasing!

My wife and I were in a major accident. After the accident one of our big worries was our medical bills. Sam at Kogan and DiSalvo coordinated with our Drs to assure coverage and put our minds at rest. I had to have surgery which thankfully went well. I was very happy to not have any unanswered concerns during that time. The person who hit us blamed us for the accident but our dash camera showed them at fault. Tiffany our Rockstar of a lawyer proved them at fault and leveraged the insurance for the maximum settlement. She then went after our under/uninsured coverage and fought for a settlement that we could never have dreamed of. Never a doubt Tiffany and the team of Kogan and DiSalvo are the lawyers that you want on your side. Thank you again.

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.
