After: Dunedin Slip-and-Fall Accident Attorney
Put 15+ Years of Experience in Your Corner
Property owners have a responsibility to provide every reasonable protection against hazards that may result in a visitor tripping or slipping, and falling while on their property. In Florida's climate, this usually means mopping up standing water as soon as possible, or placing adequate warning signs around a known hazard to caution visitors.
Slip-and-fall injury claims are becoming more difficult to win in Florida's tough legal climate. Insurance companies know that they will generally have a prospective jury on their side in the event that a plaintiff wishes to pursue a claim all the way to trial.
Winning requires presenting evidence that a clear and present danger to the public was not removed within a reasonable amount of time, and that the hazard resulted in serious and unforeseen injury or death.

How Do I Prove Liability In A Slip And Fall Case?
In a Florida slip and fall case, proving culpability involves demonstrating that the property owner or occupier was careless and that your injuries resulted from that carelessness. This requires evidence such as photos of the hazardous condition, witness testimonies, and medical records. Consulting with a Dunedin slip and fall attorney can significantly strengthen your case, as they possess the expertise to effectively prove negligence and ensure you receive fair compensation.
To establish liability, you must show that:
- There was a hazardous condition on the property.
- The hazardous state was known to, or should have been known by, the property owner.
- The owner neglected to give enough warning or to remedy the dangerous condition.
- The hazardous situation directly caused your injuries.
To support your claim, it's essential to compile proof like event reports, witness accounts, and pictures of the accident scene. Additionally, injury-specific medical documents play a vital role in detailing the extent of your injuries and their impact on your life.
