Sometimes the answer is not so simple, as slip and fall accidents in South Florida and throughout this nation can be complex. This is why it is critical to talk with a skilled South Florida premises liability lawyer as soon as possible after your accident in order to determine if you have a legal claim.
Do you have a witness who saw you fall? Did you take photographs of the liquid or object on the floor that caused you to fall? Was your fall captured on tape by the store’s camera? A lawyer can often collect this information for you if you do not have this information following your injury.
We understand that if you were in pain from your broken arm, you most likely didn’t write down a witness’ contact information. This is why it is helpful to have a lawyer go back to the scene, request the surveillance video tape, and ask around to see if anyone saw anything.
Without knowing all the details of your slip-and-fall accident, you may or may not be able to hold the store liable for your injuries. The important thing is that you are seeking medical treatment for your injuries. This is important to your health, and it could also help support your potential legal case.
