Who Can Seek Compensation for a Fall at a Fort Lauderdale Dollar Tree?

You might be eligible to pursue compensation from a Fort Lauderdale Dollar Tree if:

• You suffered injuries from a fall in a Dollar Tree store, sidewalk, or parking lot.
• Your loved one suffered injuries in a Dollar Tree store, sidewalk, or parking lot, and their injuries prevent them from bringing their own legal action.
• Your loved one passed away from injuries suffered on Dollar Tree’s property.

Chalik & Chalik Injury Lawyers can review your personal injury case and explain whether you have reason to take legal action. You may generally have reason to bring a lawsuit or insurance claim if you or your loved one suffer negligence. Our team can recognize when negligence has taken place. We generally prove negligence against owners of dangerous properties by:

• Establishing that the property owner—in this case, Dollar Tree—owed you a duty of care
• Proving that the property owner, or another liable party, breached their duty of care by exposing you to a slipping hazard
• Proving that the breach of duty of care caused you to slip
• Establishing the damages you’ve suffered because of the slip and fall accident at Dollar Tree

In making these arguments, we can use evidence of negligence and proof of your damages. 

Our Team Will Prove the Party At-Fault for Your Slip and Fall Damages

Dollar Tree might be responsible for your losses. Other individuals, such as the owner of the specific store where your injury happened, may also be at fault. Fault varies from case to case, and our team will review the facts of your case to identify all defendants. 

Dollar Tree had a responsibility to remove all possible slipping hazards, including:

• Cracked flooring tiles
• Spills from liquids sold in the store
• Condensation from the store’s air conditioner
• Rain-related moisture
• Loose items on the floor 
• Any other hazards that could cause a slip and fall accident

If Dollar Tree management or employees failed by exposing you to a slipping risk, Dollar Tree could be responsible for your damages.

Possible Damages You Could Recover for Your Fall in Dollar Tree

Our attorneys will review your case to determine which damages entitle you to compensation. Having handled many slip and fall accident cases, we know that a fall can cause:

A Pause in Your Work

While you’re unable to work, you might lose income, performance bonuses, retirement contributions, productivity, and other benefits from your job. If you can return to work but still have symptoms of injury, then you might lose earning power.

Medical Expenses

A fall might require emergency care, hospitalization, surgery, multiple doctors visits, and other medical services. If you have long-term injury symptoms, you might need medical equipment, at-home care, and further medical services or equipment.

Pain and Suffering

Being injured can cause loss of physical and cognitive abilities, physical pain, emotional anguish, and other harm. 

You might get compensation for all of these damages. If you have any other losses not listed here, our firm could determine their value and seek fair compensation for them.

Calculating damages and other aspects of your case can be complicated. Let a Dollar Tree accident lawyer from our team serving Fort Lauderdale handle these duties for you. Right now, your focus should be on slip and fall injury recovery.

We are a full-service law firm that aims to win for every client we represent. When we represent slip and fall accident victims, we generally:

Determine Who Is Responsible for Your Fall

In your case, the at-fault party may be Dollar Tree. Certain circumstances may mean that other parties are at-fault, either instead of Dollar Tree or in addition to Dollar Tree. We’ll figure it out.

Once we’ve determined who is at fault for your damages, we’ll identify the most appropriate way to seek compensation from them.

Collect Evidence That May Be Useful in Your Slip and Fall Case

Relevant evidence in your slip and fall case could include:

• Video footage that shows your fall
• Video footage or photographs of conditions that led to your fall
• Witness accounts of your fall, the conditions that caused your fall, or Dollar Tree’s negligent practices
• Expert testimony 
• Reconstructions of your slip and fall accident

We’ll complete a complete investigation of your fall. As we come across relevant evidence, we’ll gather and preserve it to use in your case.

Pursue a Fair Settlement
