Slip-and-fall accidents are common and should always be taken seriously. If you or someone you love has suffered an injury in a slip and fall, our experienced firm will help you build a strong claim. Our slip-and-fall attorney in The Villages work hard to ensure that our clients are fairly compensated.
The exact circumstances of a slip-and-fall accident are critical in determining who may be legally responsible for any injuries. For instance, if you are a guest on another person’s property, the owner or the person occupying the property has a responsibility to keep the premises reasonably safe and to warn visitors of any potential dangers. If you are on the premises for business purposes, this duty of care may be extended.

Florida law allows for economic damages, as the name suggests compensation for financial losses associated with suffering an injury such as medical expenses, loss wages and the loss of ability to earn income in the future.
Florida law allows recovery for non-economic damages including pain and suffering, mental anguish and loss of enjoyment of life.
The last type of damages, punitive, differs from the first two in that their main purpose is the punish the negligent party rather than compensate the injured party. As such they are not often awarded.
If you are not invited or are a trespasser on someone’s property, the owner may not owe you the same duty of care as if you were an invited guest. Still, the higher standard of care for trespassers may be enforced when the trespasser is a child.
