PERSONAL INJURY · TRIP AND FALL
Hazardous Conditions Have Consequences. So Does Negligence.
Uneven pavement, broken stairs, raised thresholds, and other hidden hazards cause serious injuries every day. When a property owner's failure to maintain safe conditions caused your fall, you have the right to pursue compensation. We know how to prove it.
Trip and Fall Claims Under Florida Premises Liability Law
Trip and fall accidents occur when a person catches their foot on a raised, uneven, or obstructed surface and falls as a result. Common causes include cracked or uneven sidewalks and pavement, raised carpet edges or floor transitions, broken or uneven stairs, protruding objects, and debris left in walkways. Property owners have a legal duty to maintain their premises in a reasonably safe condition and to warn visitors of known hazards.
Like slip and fall cases, trip and fall claims require proof that the property owner knew or should have known about the dangerous condition and failed to correct it or warn visitors. The condition must have existed long enough that a reasonable property owner exercising ordinary care would have discovered and remedied it. We investigate thoroughly to establish this notice element.
We handle trip and fall cases on public sidewalks, private property, retail stores, restaurants, hotels, apartment complexes, parking lots, and other commercial and residential premises throughout Florida. Where a government entity is responsible for the hazardous condition, special notice requirements and shorter deadlines apply — contact us immediately.
How Mr. Medina Handles Your Trip and Fall Case
We begin by preserving evidence before it disappears. We photograph the hazardous condition, obtain maintenance and inspection records, review prior incident reports, and identify witnesses. In cases involving public property, we serve the required pre-suit notice on the government entity promptly to preserve your rights.
We work with medical experts to document your injuries and their long-term impact. We calculate every element of your damages — medical expenses, lost wages, future care needs, pain and suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life — and build a comprehensive case for full compensation.
Property owners routinely argue that the hazard was open and obvious, that you were not paying attention, or that they had no notice of the condition. We anticipate these defenses and build our case to defeat each one. Our experience on both sides of premises liability litigation means we know exactly what the defense will argue — and how to counter it.
