Miami Publix Slip and Fall Accident & Injury Lawyer

Are you struggling with injuries you sustained after a slip and fall accident at a Miami-area Publix store? If the answer to that question is “yes,” it’s quite likely that you have other questions like “Who is going to pay my medical bills?” or “How do I get reimbursed for lost wages if I can’t work because of my injuries?” A Miami Publix slip and fall accident & injury lawyer can help you answer those questions.

Publix has a legal duty to keep its stores free of trip hazards. Many slip and fall accidents are caused by store management failing to take adequate steps to ensure customer safety. If that failure caused your slip and fall injury, you have the right to hold Publix accountable by demanding damages. A slip and fall attorney from Chalik & Chalik Injury Lawyers can help.

How a Slip and Fall Injury Attorney from Chalik & Chalik Injury Lawyers Can Help You

First, and perhaps most importantly, Chalik & Chalik Injury Lawyers is a family-run personal injury law firm that prioritizes the needs of its clients. When we take your case, you don’t get pawned off on a legal assistant or a rookie attorney who is new to the practice. Our founding partners will take an active role and work directly with you on your case.

We will create a comprehensive strategy and a damage demand commensurate with your injuries. If we take your Publix slip and fall accident case, you can expect your lawyer to:

• Give you frequent updates on your case’s status
• Gather evidence (e.g., video surveillance, witness interviews, etc.)
• Negotiate directly with Publix or its insurer
• Represent you at trial if negotiations fail

What Are Some Common Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents?

Slip and fall accidents in stores are often the result of dangerous conditions that could harm customers. Some of those conditions include:

• Uneven walking surfaces (e.g., loose or damaged floor tiles, ripped carpets, etc.)
• Wet floors from product spills or recent cleaning
• Slippery floors from recent waxing
• Obstructed aisles (e.g., large displays, unloaded product pallets, etc.)

What Damages Can a Miami Publix Slip and Fall Accident Lawyer Demand?

If your Publix slip and fall injury accident was caused by negligence or the store’s failure to maintain a safe shopping environment, any expenses you incur due to the accident may be recoverable damages. Florida law gives anyone who suffered harm in a slip and fall accident the right to recover those damages from the Publix store where the accident happened.

Examples of the recoverable damages you can demand after an accident include:

• Medical bills
• Lost wages
• Post-accident transport to medical facilities
• Physical therapy or any ongoing accident-related medical care
• Pain and suffering and other non-economic damages

In some extreme cases, accident victims can also suffer temporary or permanent disability. If that’s your situation, we will calculate our damage demand to ensure it reflects both your present and future losses.

What Is Your Slip and Fall Injury Accident Case Worth?

The total value of recoverable damages you can demand in a personal injury case hinges on several factors. Examples of these factors include:

• The total cost of your medical bills
• The total value of your lost wages
• The total value of any other accident-related expenses
• The extent of your pain and suffering

The sum of these expenses can vary widely from case to case. A Miami Publix slip and fall accident attorney from our firm will seek a fair settlement or judgment in your case. However, that amount will be unique to your case because factors like those listed above are completely unique to you.

With that said, we would be happy to meet with you for a free strategy session to review the facts in your case. During this consultation, we can gain a complete understanding of the circumstances in your accident case. Once we have all the necessary information, we can give you an estimate on how much your Miami Publix slip and fall injury lawyer would demand in your case.

You Have a Limited Time to Collect Damages in a Publix Slip and Fall Accident Case

You have a limited time to act if you intend to demand damages for your Publix slip and fall injury. Slip and fall injury cases fall under the category of “personal injuries.” Florida has a two-year statute of limitations in personal injury lawsuits, per Florida Statutes § 95.11. That means if you don’t demand damages within two years of your accident, you will likely forfeit your right to do so (except under limited circumstances).

While two years sounds like a long time, the sooner we can get started, the better. Valuable evidence like the security camera footage at the Miami Publix where you had your accident may be destroyed after a certain period. Additionally, store employees or other witnesses who saw your accident might move away or lose clear recollection of your injury.

By demanding damages as soon as possible, we increase our odds of collecting valuable evidence that could make a difference in your case.
