Tampa Slip and Fall Lawyers

Premise liability cases occur every day and can arise from a number of situations including: slip and fall, trip and fall, inadequate security, and failure to warn others of a dangerous condition. The most common premise liability cases are slip and fall injuries that occur in grocery stores or convenience stores. Also very common are trip and fall injuries that typically occur from lack of proper warning of curbs and changes in pavement elevation in parking lots and store entrances.

Our Tampa slip and fall lawyers have represented clients in numerous variations of these cases. Although each slip and fall or premise liability case is unique, in most instances our Tampa slip and fall attorneys have been able to place fault on land or building owners who fail to warn others of danger, remedy a dangerous condition, or provide adequate security.

In your premise liability case, it is important to save all evidence that documents a dangerous condition existed for a period of time prior to your slip and fall or trip and fall injury occurring. This includes: obtaining names and numbers of all potential witnesses, photographing the evidence that caused you to fall, notifying the store manager and filing an incident report, and contacting a lawyer to preserve any surveillance video. If you did not take the above precautions, please contact one of our premise liability attorneys now to see if you still have a claim.

Compensation for premise liability claims are the same as any personal injury case and can include, past and future medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and where appropriate, punitive damages.

I fell and was injured! What should I do?

• Am I hurt? Take a moment to check if you are hurt. If you need immediate medical assistance call 9-1-1.
• Witnesses are important. If someone witnessed your fall ask for their name, number and address.
• Photographs: If you are able to get up, take photographs with your cell phone of the liquid or item that caused you to fall showing its condition at the time of the fall.
• Incident Report: After you fall it is important to notify the store employees or manager to clean up the area, if needed, and file an incident report.
• Clothing and Shoes: Save your clothing and shoes that you were wearing when you fell. Do not clean or wear them again. They are now pieces of evidence. If you slipped and fell on liquid that caused your clothes to become wet, take photographs of the wet substance on your clothes.
• Contact a Premise Liability Attorney: Contact our premise liability lawyers to preserve the store’s surveillance video to be used as evidence, notify the at fault party, and bring your claim forward.
