Banana Slip and Fall Cases Are The Real Deal

 

Banana Peel Slip and Fall Cases are the Real Deal

If you’ve read comic books or seen cartoon shows, you’ve probably seen a character in one of these farces slip and fall on a banana peel. The reality is that this actually does happen, resulting in some serious injuries.

Personal injury lawsuits, though easily lampooned, are no laughing matter. Negligent business and property owners often leave hazards lying around their store. These can be a banana peel but also a piece of clothing fallen off the rack, a puddle from the rain, or a stray toy on the stairs.

When you or a loved one slips on one of these hazards, and falls to the ground or even down the stairs, serious injuries can occur. Florida slip and fall accidents can result in:

  • Bruises or cuts
  • Broken bones
  • Dislocations or sprains
  • Back or neck injuries
  • Head injuries
  • Loss of life

If you or a family member has been injured as the result of someone else’s negligence, whether it was a store manager or apartment building owner, they are entitled to make things right. In fact, you may be able to earn financial compensation for your medical bills, ongoing care, missed time at work and much more.
