West Palm Beach Slip and Fall Injury Lawyer

If you or a loved one has been injured in a slip and fall accident as a result of another person’s negligence, the first decision to make is to pick the right West Palm personal injury lawyer to defend you. At Chalik & Chalik Injury Lawyers, we understand the complexity of slip and fall accidents. We also strive to ensure our clients can devote as much time as they need to their recovery. The seasoned legal team at Chalik & Chalik Injury Lawyers has decades of experience in slip and fall accidents.

Slips and falls can happen to anyone and at any time. According to the National Floor Safety Institute, falls account for more than 8 million emergency room visits. Based on these figures, falls are the number-one reason people visit the ER.

Although slip and fall accidents are very common, the resulting damages should be compensated by the liable party when they are caused by another person’s negligence. When a slip and fall accident occurs on someone else’s West Palm Beach property, under Florida law, the person who owns that property can be held liable for your injuries, losses, and other expenses. Chalik & Chalik Injury Lawyers has been serving slip and fall accident victims in South Florida for more than 50 years. In that time, Jason and Debi Chalik have secured multi-million dollar settlements for previous clients.

Contact us 24/7 for a free consultation. Our dedicated team will work to deliver the compensation that you deserve for your injuries. What makes Chalik & Chalik Injury Lawyers different from other slip and fall law firms is the personalized attention we give to all our clients. Once we begin working on your case, you can expect to work directly with the firm’s partners themselves.

We Work on a Contingency-Fee Basis

You have enough to worry about without adding on finding the funds to afford legal help.

To relieve this burden, we work on contingency. We only get paid if and when our clients do.

To improve the likelihood of gaining a favorable outcome, we become very familiar with our individual clients and their cases. Our West Palm Beach slip and fall injury attorneys will work together with our clients. We will answer any questions you might have, and if you are unable to come to our office, we can travel to you.

Damages We Can Help You Recover After a Slip and Fall in West Palm Beach

After a slip and fall, you’re likely facing thousands or more in unexpected expenses and losses. We can help you recover compensation for economic and non-economic damages, including:

• Medical bills
• Lost wages
• Lost earning capacity
• Miscellaneous expenses
• Pain and suffering

If you lost a loved one due to a slip and fall, our team offers our sincere condolences. While no amount of money can replace your loved one, a settlement or court award could help cover your expenses and losses during this time. Our team can handle every aspect of a wrongful death case, seeking justice on your loved one’s behalf.

Our Method for Recovering Your Slip and Fall Accident Damages

Our accident lawyers follow a concise list of steps with all our clients. First, we need to determine that our client’s case is a premises liability lawsuit. To do that, our attorneys need to answer the following questions:

• Does the defendant (likely the property owner) own or lease the property where the slip and fall took place?
• Did the defendant breach their duty of care by failing to remedy a dangerous condition?
• Did the defendant’s negligence lead to a slip and fall accident?
• Did the slip and fall accident cause injuries, losses, and other expenses?

Once our team determines that our client’s case meets these criteria, we begin investigating the accident. During this stage, we collect every strand of evidence that could help build your case. Such evidence might include medical records, police reports, witness testimony, and forensic evidence. We will work hard to ensure that your damages are compensated.

Our Slip and Fall Lawyers Take Care of You

The attorneys at Chalik & Chalik Injury Lawyers will pursue the recovery of your damages, but along the way, we also want our clients to remain healthy and strong. Our attorneys recognize the trauma our clients could be going through. As a result, we strive to make our client’s lives as easy as possible.

One of the ways we can help is by managing the avalanche of communications between you, the property owner, the property owner’s or another defendant’s lawyers, and your insurance company. Any slip and fall victim will acknowledge the endless hours spent in such communication and how much of a relief it would have been if they didn’t have to worry about those emails, letters, and phone calls.

At Chalik & Chalik Injury Lawyers, nothing is more important to our attorneys than our client’s health. After a slip and fall accident, juggling phone calls and emails is the last thing someone should be doing. Our clients only worry about one thing – getting better.

How Florida’s Statute of Limitations Affects Your West Palm Beach Injury Case

In Florida, you only have two years to file personal injury lawsuits. Two years might seem like a long time, but it can pass by faster than you expect. It takes time to collect the information our personal injury lawyers will need to build a strong case that supports your claim for compensation. Witnesses forget important details. Documents get filed away or misplaced. The sooner you make the decision to call Chalik & Chalik Injury Lawyers, the sooner we can start collecting evidence to prove your case.
