Slip and Fall

You have been hurt in a fall on someone’s property. You need a personal injury attorney to pursue those responsible for your injuries. Let us at James W. Dodson, Attorney at Law, help you. We have successfully obtained recovery for clients in numerous slip and fall cases involving:

  • Liquids or debris on the floor.
  • Uneven walking surfaces.
  • Poor lighting.
  • Disrepair.

There are building codes and safety standards that set minimum requirements for the protection of the public. Our law firm has successfully recovered damages for our clients in cases involving Florida’s building and accessibility codes, engineering standards, and the Americans with Disability Act (ADA), and the Life Safety Code.

Slip and fall injuries may include cuts and bruises, broken bones, nerve damage, spinal cord injuries, back injuries, head injuries, traumatic brain injuries, permanent disabilities, pain, suffering, and emotional damages.

Your case should be investigated as quickly as possible, including documenting the conditions that led to your fall through photographs, witness testimony, and expert evaluation. Proper notification should be given to the property owner.
