Our Florida Five Below Slip and Fall Lawyer Can Determine Fault and Liability

You are considered an invited guest whenever you legally visit Five Below. The property manager or owner then owes you a duty of care to ensure your safety. Unfortunately, they sometimes fall short of this obligation and act negligently by:

• Not putting up signage warning patrons about a slippery floor or other debris that can cause a slip and fall
• Not cleaning up a spill in a timely manner 

As a result of failing to address the slip and fall hazard, patrons might be at risk of the following:

• Soft tissue injuries
• Broken bones
• Hand and wrist injuries
• Ankle injuries
• Sprains and strains
• Traumatic brain injury
• Spinal cord injuries
• Hip fractures

If you or a loved one suffered injuries in this kind of situation, a Florida Five Below slip and fall attorney with our firm can help you hold the negligent party accountable. Call Chalik & Chalik today to learn more about our process.

Pursuing Compensation Following a Five Below Slip and Fall in Florida

Our team has won multiple five- and six-figure settlements and judgments for our clients. Some of our slip and fall case results include:

• $400,000 after a client sustained a spine injury from a slip and fall
• $280,000 for a slip and fall that called for back surgery
• $135,500 settlement for slip and fall at Dollar General
• $85,000 settlement for slip and fall at Dollar Tree

We cannot guarantee an exact amount regarding the final financial outcome of your case, as every case comes with its own circumstances. However, many victims of this type of accident can recover compensation for these losses:

• Past and anticipated medical costs for surgeries, imaging tests, medications, medical equipment, the ambulance ride, and follow-up doctor’s appointments
• Lost income for the salary, hourly wage, bonuses, tips, benefits, or vacation time you missed due to your injuries
• Reduced earning capacity if you had to take a pay cut or reduce your hours to accommodate your injuries
• Property damage expenses if any of your personal belongings were damaged during the slip and fall
• Pain and suffering for the discomfort your injuries have inflicted
• Disfigurement or scarring if your injuries have affected your mobility or appearance
• Mental anguish if the accident or your injuries caused any emotional distress

Victims of slip and fall accidents don’t always survive their injuries. If you and your family are in the middle of this type of situation, please know of our condolences. We understand that there’s nothing that can fix what happened. Still, compensation can help alleviate any financial burdens that come from this tragedy. Our Florida wrongful death attorney can go after burial and funeral expenses, pain and suffering, loss of society and companionship, and/or final medical costs.

Our Florida Five Below Slip and Fall Lawyers Can Meet State-Imposed Deadlines

There’s a lot going on in the aftermath of a slip and fall. However, it’s important to stay focused on protecting yourself and your right to fair compensation. Part of that includes complying with deadlines Florida imposes on lawsuits.

According to Florida Statutes § 95.11, you generally have two years to sue for personal injury and wrongful death. In the case of the former, the statute of limitations begins on the day of the accident. Wrongful death claimants have two years from the day of death to take action.

Failure to adhere to this two-year deadline may result in the court denying your case, potentially leaving you without any avenues to compensation. If given sufficient notice, however, our team can assist you in filing the lawsuit in time.
