Our Costco Slip and Fall Accident Lawyers in Fort Lauderdale Fight for Maximum Compensation

After a negligence-based fall, you can recover economic, non-economic, and possibly wrongful death damages. According to Florida Statutes § 768.81, your recoverable economic damages can include:

• Past and future lost income 
• Past and future medical costs
• Property repair or replacement

We also pursue various non-economic damages for you, including:

• Disabling and disfiguring injuries
• Physical pain and suffering
• Mental and emotional distress
• Loss of enjoyment of life

If applicable, we pursue wrongful death damages, including funeral and burial expenses, loss of financial and household support, and loss of consortium, care, and companionship.

We Can Navigate the Vagaries of Florida’s Statute of Limitations

According to Florida Statutes § 95.11, you generally have two years to file your personal injury or wrongful death claim. This law reflects a 2024 change that could lead to potential confusion. In addition, the victim’s age could influence the filing deadline. 

The best way to understand how the statute of limitations applies to your case and avoid the costly consequences of filing your lawsuit too late is to let our Costco slip and fall accident lawyers in Fort Lauderdale handle your claim.

Our Costco Slip and Fall Accident Lawyers Prove Negligence in Fort Lauderdale

Chalik & Chalik offers free consultations to every client. During yours, we will listen to your version of events, and if we move forward together, we’ll conduct a thorough investigation to identify the negligence that caused your accident. Commonly reported causes of accidental falls in retail stores like Costco include:

• Slick, slippery, or wet floors after a heavy downpour
• Spilled food and drinks 
• Wobbly or falling displays
• Broken shelving units
• Loose rugs, floor tiles, and cables
• Over-polished floors

Our independent investigation includes collecting evidence that proves the elements of negligence: duty of care, breach of duty, causation, and damages. 

Evidence That Proves the Cause and Costs of Your Fall in Costco

A well-documented case file is an integral part of your injury claim. To prove what caused your fall, we collect the following:

• Footage from the store’s security cameras
• Smartphone footage from bystanders
• Social media posts, photos, and videos 
• Statements from store patrons and employees
• Accident reconstruction reports from retail experts

We also gather medical documentation (e.g., records and test results) that describe your injuries, including their cause and severity. Then, to prove the financial impact of the accident, we collect the following:

• Medical, rehab, and therapy records and bills
• Employment and salary history records
• Property repair or replacement estimates

Our results-driven team will not tax you or your family with the potentially daunting task of collecting evidence. Instead, we handle it for you and then submit your case file and settlement demand letter to the retailer’s insurance provider.
