Florida slip and fall accidents, or trip and fall accidents, result in more than one million injuries and 17,000 deaths each year. This makes them one of the most dangerous types of accidents that can occur to you or a loved one.
There are numerous possible causes of
Florida slip and fall accidents. Though elderly people are especially susceptible to these accidents, they can happen to anyone. These include:
- Poor lighting
- Cracked or uneven walkways
- Slippery or wet surfaces

These
Florida slip and fall accidents can be very damaging. Those involved may suffer any number of the following injuries:
- Cuts or lacerations
- Broken bones or sprains
- Fractured pelvis

These injuries may force you to seek extensive medical attention after a
