Additional Compensation May Be Available for Negligence
You may have an actionable claim if you can prove negligence. Negligence is the element that places fault on the other party, thereby reducing your liability. It also means that you have a right to pain and suffering damages if your case exceeds the injury threshold of $50,000.
The Seminole slip and fall attorneys at Salter, Healy, Rivera & Heptner will examine your case to determine if we can prove that:
A property owner owed you a general duty of care
They committed a breach of that duty with unsafe property conditions
The unsafe property conditions caused your slip and fall accident
The slip and fall accident resulted in physical and financial harm
Slip and fall claims that satisfy these conditions may be eligible to receive a civil award that pays for medical bills, lost wages, and mental anguish. However, the insurance company can try to reduce its financial liability if its evidence shows you were partially at fault. Ensure they have the full picture by hiring Salter, Healy, Rivera & Heptner to investigate your accident.
Civil Deadlines Apply to Florida Premises Liability Claims
FL. Stat. § 95.11 imposes a four-year deadline on premises liability claims. This deadline is commonly known as the “statute of limitations.” Essentially, the law states that you must file your slip and fall lawsuit within this period for sufficient circumstances to exist.
In general, many claims, like slip and fall accidents, settle before ever filing a civil court complaint and may take a few months to resolve. However, catastrophic injuries can take a considerable amount of time to assess adequately. No matter how severe the injury, physical evidence, and eyewitness memories can degrade over time.
