Central Florida Slip and Fall Lawyer

You didn’t see water on the floor. You didn’t know the floor was slippery. You didn’t see any warning signs. Now you have injuries from a slip and fall, your medical bills are piling up, and you haven’t been able to work, so you’re not earning an income.

You require compensation for your injuries and financial losses, but you’re not sure how to proceed. A Central Florida slip and fall lawyer from Dismuke Law can help you file a claim and guide you through the legal process if the liable party’s insurance provider refuses to pay. We will handle your legal case while you take the time you need to heal.

What Is Premises Liability?

When you are a guest on a property, you expect to be reasonably safe and that no harm will come to you, especially if the owner knows about the property’s dangers. Property owners have a duty of care to protect people on their premises from known hazards.

When a property owner is negligent, and someone gets hurt, such as in a slip and fall, because the property owner did not set out warning signs or try to make the area safe, they are liable. You can make an insurance claim for compensation and even file a lawsuit if the liable party’s insurance provider denies your claim.

Our Central Florida Slip and Fall Lawyer Can Seek Damages for You

When you file a lawsuit, you want to be sure that you are seeking a compensation amount that will adequately cover your losses. There are damages that you may not even be aware that you can pursue. A personal injury lawyer from our firm can help you determine your losses so you can file a lawsuit to recover the compensation you deserve.

A slip and fall accident can cause serious injuries that require medical treatment. As a result, you could face medical bills. On top of that, you may have to miss time from work for doctor’s appointments or to recover in the hospital or at home. You also may suffer from physical and emotional pain and require therapy or counseling. All these damages are recoverable. Other damages that your compensation could cover include:

• Medical expenses
• Lost income (past and future)
• Childcare services
• Home services
• Property damage
• Physical therapy
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Mental anguish
• Disability
• Scarring and disfigurement
• Loss of enjoyment
• Loss of companionship
• Psychological trauma

Florida does not cap damages, and our firm has won six- and seven-figure settlements for clients like you. Our Central Florida slip and fall lawyer will assess your case’s value so that we can pursue the proper compensation. Financial recovery is about covering your losses and holding the negligent party accountable.

You don’t just get legal representation when you hire a lawyer from our firm. You get an advocate who protects your rights and interests and someone who will listen to you because your voice deserves to be heard. Our goal is to present you with your options and help you choose a path forward.

In addition, you also get a firm that primarily handles personal injury cases and a firm that will dedicate time and resources to your case.

If you hire us to handle your legal case, you can expect us to:

• Investigate the accident: We will investigate your slip and fall accident to determine if the property owner is liable. Learning the case’s facts is important to building your case for compensation.
• Gather evidence: We will collect evidence to strengthen your claim, including medical records, inspection logs, safety reports, witness accounts, photographs, video footage, and expert opinions.
• Calculate the value of your claim: We will calculate the value of your claim accounting for any damages you qualify for so we can send a demand letter to the insurance provider. This will also help us determine if any settlement offers are fair.
• Negotiate a settlement: We can negotiate with the insurance provider to reach a fair settlement covering your losses.
• File a lawsuit: Most personal injury cases settle out of court, but we prepare every case for trial and will file a lawsuit and represent you if necessary.
• Travel to you: We will treat you like family and travel to you if you cannot come to our office.

In addition, your lawyer works on a contingency fee basis, so you don’t pay us unless you receive compensation. Every accident victim should have access to legal representation regardless of their financial status. We also offer free case consultations so you can talk to us about your case at no expense.
