This information can’t be found on a website. Nor can it be located at the other end of a 1-800 number. We believe it should come from a face-to-face meeting or phone interview with the slip and fall lawyer handling your case. If you need help finding medical care, our Tampa slip and fall lawyers can point you in the right direction by helping you find a medical provider suited for the injuries you suffered.

There are several different ways to help with your medical care cost.

First, we look to the insurance company of the store or place where your slip and fall accident occurred to see if they have medical payments insurance coverage.
Next, if you have health insurance, we could use that to help pay for your care.
We look to the person, store or corporation who caused your personal injury.
Many different factors come into play when determining who will pay for your medical care costs and when. But rest assured, your premises liability lawyer will fully advise you on this matter as we know how important it is.

Common Causes of Slip and Fall Cases

A slip and fall accident can occur anywhere, at any time; many slip and fall accidents happen when least expected. Understanding the common causes of these incidents can help you be more vigilant and potentially avoid serious injuries. Here are some typical scenarios that lead to slip and fall cases:

Wet or Slippery Floors

One of the most common causes of slip and fall accidents is wet or slippery floors. Spills, leaks, or recently mopped surfaces that are not properly marked with warning signs can create hazardous conditions.

Uneven Surfaces

Floors that are uneven, cracked, or have sudden changes in elevation can cause individuals to trip and fall. This includes sidewalks with broken pavement, loose carpeting, and uneven tiles.

Poor Lighting

Inadequate lighting in stairwells, hallways, parking lots, or other areas can make it difficult to see potential hazards. Poor visibility increases the risk of tripping over objects or missing steps.

Cluttered Walkways 

Walkways cluttered with debris, cables, or other objects pose significant tripping hazards. This is especially true in busy workplaces or public areas where foot traffic is high.

Damaged Stairs

Broken or poorly maintained stairs, including loose handrails, uneven steps, and missing stair nosing, are common culprits in trip and fall accidents. Proper maintenance and clear marking of stair edges can help prevent these incidents.

Weather Conditions

Rain, ice, and snow can create slippery surfaces on sidewalks, parking lots, and entryways. Property owners have a responsibility to clear these areas and ensure they are safe for pedestrians.

Inappropriate Footwear 

Wearing shoes that are not suitable for the environment, such as high heels on a slick surface or shoes without adequate grip, can increase the likelihood of slipping and falling.

Loose Mats and Rugs

 Mats and rugs that are not properly secured can slip or bunch up, causing individuals to trip. Ensuring these items have non-slip backing or are properly affixed to the floor can prevent accidents.

Defective Escalators and Elevators

Malfunctioning escalators or elevators can cause sudden movements or stops, leading to falls. Regular maintenance and inspections are essential to ensure these devices operate safely.

Negligence of Property Owners

Failure to address known hazards, such as repairing broken fixtures, cleaning up spills promptly, or posting warning signs, can result in slip and fall accidents. Property owners are legally obligated to maintain safe premises for visitors.

Understanding What You’re Owed

The amount and kind of damages you may be entitled to depend on the facts of your case. In Florida, there are two different types of damages: economic damages and non-economic damages. Economic damages consist of past and future medical care costs and past and future lost wages. Non-economic damages consist of past and future pain, suffering, mental anguish, loss for the capacity to enjoy life and inconvenience.

Seek legal advice immediately. 

If you or a family member has been injured by a slip and fall accident, you should seek the advice of an experienced premises liability lawyer specializing  in personal injury law as early as possible. Issues related to personal injury, slip and fall accidents, claims of negligence and damages are often complicated.
Our Tampa slip and fall lawyer has the experience and desire to provide legal representation that puts your interests first, protects your rights, and seeks to resolve the problems that come with being involved in a slip and fall accident.

Nearly 2. 5 years ago I was rear ended by a commercial truck causing injuries that would effect me a life time. With the help of Mr. Manny Fernandez and his staff they made this process easier than I could’ve imagined. They were by my side the entire time and kept me up to date with the latest development. He himself would call to check on me periodically, especially after both back surgeries. The KF&B group always had my best interest at heart. Once again many thanks to Manny Fernandez and staff at the KF&B group.caring and attentive to your individual needs and efficient in their work. Ive gone here fortunately but unfortunately one to many occasions but they’ve had me evey single time. I couldn’t ask for better service. Thank you.

I had two car accidents from within 2017 and 2018. The first one is where I got hit by a tow truck. He got in my lane and hit me. Then the second accident was where a drunk driver hit me in the rear end. I cannot work anymore because of this. I have tried to work and make money to live on. I called the law office and they took my case right away. I just want to say that I am so happy with the results. I am now able to have some peace of mind. They helped with the medical portion as well as I am still in the recovery process. Thank you so much for helping me with my two car accidents. The very best I would say and so much moreFrom start to end of the case (which was completed in 6 months!), I felt like Marcus had my back and truly was there to represent and advocate for me. 10/10 would recommend to anyone in need of legal support.

Marcus Fernandez was amazing. I have been in two car accidents that were not my fault. He handled both accidents with respect, and strength. Mr. Fernandez did an outstanding job with ensuring that I was aware of every move, every response from the other insurance carrier, what our next steps were going to be, including doing the full mediation to settle out of court for me!! I appreciate all his help!! I highly recommend Kinney, Fernandez, and Boire!!!! This law firm is a great group of individuals who care about their clients and are determined to get results!!!!Blessings Too ME!!!!!I would recommend them to anyone…Special Thanks To Mrs.DEE She kept me Encouraged &Motivated the whole way through definitely GREAT PEOPLE TOO HANDLE BUSINESS WITH
