Possible Injuries and Damages Sustained in Slip and Fall at DD’s Discounts

It’s understandable to brush off injuries and act like nothing happened following a slip and fall. However, you should always seek immediate medical attention. While some injuries may be obvious, others can take time to manifest and show symptoms. In the latter case, by the time you see a doctor, your recovery time may take longer than it would have if you had sought medical care sooner. 

Common slip and fall injuries include:

• Internal bleeding
• Hand and wrist injuries
• Hip fractures
• Ankle injuries
• Cuts and bruises
• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
• Broken bones

Treating these injuries may lead to piling medical bills, missed time at work, and intense pain. You shouldn’t have to cover the financial, physical, and emotional costs of a slip and fall accident that wasn’t your fault. Instead, you can file an insurance claim or lawsuit against the liable party and request compensation for the following economic and non-economic damages, if applicable:

• Past and anticipated medical expenses
• Current and future lost income
• Reduced earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Mental anguish
• Disfigurement

A Florida wrongful death attorney from our personal injury law firm can help you take legal action if your loved one didn’t survive their slip and fall injuries. You may qualify to recover damages such as funeral and burial costs, final medical bills, pain and suffering, and loss of consortium or society.

Common Causes of Slip and Falls and Who May Be Responsible

Property owners must ensure their premises are free of dangers or warn visitors about them if they cannot remove them immediately. Common causes of slip and falls include:

• Spilled liquids 
• Poorly maintained hallways
• Loose floorboards or stairs
• Damaged ramps or rails
• Slick sidewalks, floors, or driveways
• Inadequate lighting

If the property owner or manager of DD’s Discounts was aware of or should have been aware of the hazard that caused you to fall and didn’t effectively address it, they may be liable for your damages. Your Florida personal injury attorney will apply the standard of care to prove their responsibility. We will aim to provide evidence of the following four legal elements of negligence:

• The property owner or manager owed you a duty of care.
• They were negligent and breached this duty of care.
• This negligence caused your slip and fall.
• You incurred financial and non-financial damages as a result.

You don’t have unlimited time to hold the at-fault party accountable. Florida Statutes § 95.11 generally allows a two-year window for filing personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits in Florida. We recommend getting started as soon as possible to avoid missing the deadline. If you inform us about your case soon enough, we can help you comply.
