Slip and Fall Accidents in Jacksonville

Representation for People Injured by Dangerous Property Conditions

Slip and fall accidents are one of the most common types of personal injury cases. Typically, slip and fall accidents occur when customers are injured from unsafe conditions in a store or business, such as a wet floor left unaddressed and / or unmarked. As a victim of a slip and fall incident, you are protected by the judicial system. Based on the premises liability law, property owners must provide safe conditions to their guests who are legally permitted on that property. Speak with our Jacksonville personal injury attorney today if you need assistance with your slip and fall case.

Florida's New Slip and Fall Law

Florida's law regarding slip and fall claims changed in 2010. As a result, it is much more difficult for a plaintiff to prove that they deserve compensation for injuries. If you were injured in a slip and fall accident and are now pursuing damages, you will need to prove that the premises owner had constructive knowledge that a danger was present that should have been remedied. With the legal guidance of our lawyer from The Costantino Law Firm, you can prove that such factors existed to receive the compensation you deserve.

If the property owner knew, or should have known, of a hazardous condition but failed to address the issue, you can suffer serious injuries and the owner can be held responsible. If you were injured because of a substance on the floor, ice that was not removed, uneven curbs, poor lighting, or fallen merchandise, we can hold the property owner accountable. You may be entitled to damages for medical expenses, lost income, and the pain and suffering you have experienced.
