We Must Prove Negligence to Help You Seek Compensation After a DGX Accident

Proving negligence in a slip and fall case requires demonstrating several key elements:

• Duty of care: Establish that the property owner or occupier had a legal duty to ensure the premises were safe for visitors.
• Breach of duty: Show that the property owner failed to maintain the premises adequately, leading to unsafe conditions.
• Causation: Connect the unsafe condition directly to the accident, proving that negligence was the direct cause of the fall.
• Damages: Provide evidence of the injuries and losses suffered as a result of the fall, including medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Successfully proving these elements can help secure compensation. We will gather evidence to prove your right to a fair settlement. 

Examples of Negligence That Could Lead to a Slip and Fall in Florida

Negligence by a DGX owner or manager could look like:

• Failure to clean spills on floors promptly.
• Not signaling wet floor areas with signs.
• Poorly maintained flooring, such as torn carpets or loose tiles.
• Inadequate lighting in walkways or stairwells.
• Obstructions in DGX aisles or pathways, like cords or debris.
• Not fixing leaks from ceilings or plumbing that create slippery surfaces.

These examples highlight the responsibility of property owners to maintain safe environments and prevent accidents.

You Have a Limited Time to File a Personal Injury Lawsuit Against DGX

If you were hurt because of negligence on a Florida DGX property, you must file your case on time. The statute of limitations, Florida Statutes § 95.11(4)(a) states you generally have two years to file a personal injury case. You also typically have two years to file a wrongful death lawsuit.

If you don’t file on time, you could be banned from recovering compensation. Our team can inform you of your filing deadline so you can take legal action before time runs out.
