Focus on the Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents in Florida

You could slip and fall in a Burlington store for a number of reasons. Jason and Debi Chalik are here to help you if you slipped and fell for any reason. The causes of your accident could include:

• Broken pavement in the parking lot
• Snow and ice left on the sidewalk leading to the store
• Clothes or other products left lying on the floor
• Slippery areas caused by leaks or recent mopping

Slip and fall accidents are more likely to occur in some areas of a Burlington store. The entry and exits to the stores may be especially hazardous. Additionally, bathrooms and check-out areas are sites where slip and fall accidents often take place.

There Is a Filing Deadline for Slip and Fall Injury Lawsuits

You might think that the filing deadline for a lawsuit is not relevant because you want to get a settlement, not file a lawsuit. In fact, the filing deadline, also called the statute of limitations, could prevent you from getting any compensation for your injuries and other losses. 

After the filing deadline, the court could dismiss your lawsuit, costing you your last chance to seek compensation.

The statutes of limitations are different in every state. Here are the filing deadlines in Florida:

• You only have two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit, under Florida Statutes § 95.11(3)(a).
• If your close relative died because of a slip and fall accident, you only have two years to file a wrongful death case, according to Florida Statutes § 95.11(4)(d).

You do not want to wait until the last minute to talk to a lawyer about your slip and fall injury case. It takes time to investigate the accident and draft the documents we must prepare to file a lawsuit. Be sure to talk with us right away to protect your right to compensation. 

Results of Slipping and Falling in a Burlington Store

Many people discount the possible severity of a slip and fall accident. Stores such as Burlington typically have hard concrete floors and lots of metal shelving. Falling against these items can result in serious injuries, including:

• Lacerations and other soft tissue injuries
• Broken bones in your arms and legs
• Head and brain injuries
• Injuries to your back, spine, or neck

These injuries generally require prompt medical treatment, which can quickly become incredibly expensive. Fortunately, you may be able to get compensation for your losses if you file a premises liability claim with your slip and fall accident lawyer.

Understanding Premises Liability Claims in Florida

A premises liability claim can allow your slip and fall accident lawyer to help you secure compensation to cover your:

• Medical expenses
• Lost wages at work
• Diminished earning potential
• Pain, suffering, and mental anguish

In some cases, Jason and Debi Chalik can negotiate with the insurance agents who represent Burlington. We may be able to secure you a fair settlement through this period of negotiations as we present proof we gathered regarding your accident.

If Burlington representatives refuse to accept a fair settlement, we can also help you take your claim to court. Securing a verdict in your favor can allow you to move forward with your life, confident that you will be able to cover your medical expenses and other losses.
