West Palm Beach Slip and Fall Lawyer

If you are injured or suffer loss because of a slip and fall accident, the West Palm Beach slip and fall attorneys at Kogan, DiSalvo may be able to recover compensation for your injuries. Property owners, managers and lessees are legally obligated to maintain safe conditions on their premises or, at the very least, provide fair warning to residents, customers or patrons that a dangerous condition exists, which may cause them harm. If they fail to provide either of these, and you are injured as a result, you may have reason to file an injury claim under Florida law.

Additionally, insurance companies may attempt to quickly settle with you (the injured party) if they know their insured is liable for your accident.  The full scope and extent of your injuries may not be evident for weeks, even months after your accident; therefore it is in your best interest to not accept any premature offers to settle made by the insurance company. The West Palm Beach slip and fall attorneys at our law firm are experienced in successfully advocating and recovering compensation for those injured in such accidents.

Slip and Fall Claims

Slip and fall accident claims can be very complex. Business and property owners, managers and lessees have a legal responsibility to maintain safe premises and adequately alert or warn residents and customers of potentially dangerous and harmful situations. If they fail in this responsibility, they may be held financially responsible for your slip and fall injuries and losses. The following represents common situations when a property owner, manager or lessee was negligent and did not meet their legal obligation of maintaining safe premises:

• Slippery or sticky floors or stairs
• Puddled rainwater, spilled liquids or food
• Uneven or damaged walkways
• Poorly maintained stairs
• Tripping hazards without adequate signage warning of danger

If you or a loved one has been injured in a slip and fall accident, you may suffer great economic loss in both the short and long term. Mounting medical expenses, lost wages, long term wage loss due to inability to work or limited capacity to earn a living, long term medical care, emotional stress and pain and suffering are all attributable to such injuries. If you have suffered one or more of these losses, you may be entitled to financial compensation with the help of a slip and fall attorney in West Palm Beach.
