You May Be Entitled to Compensation for Your Losses
When you slip and fall, the consequences can go beyond a bruised ego. Medical care, physical therapy, time off work, and even needing help around the house can all add up. In some cases, injuries can cause lasting changes to your ability to earn a living or care for your family.
And when someone passes away from a fall, the impact on their loved ones can be devastating. Seeking compensation can help alleviate those financial burdens and hold the careless party responsible. Some of the losses we may pursue on your behalf include:
- Past and future medical bills
- Lost wages and job benefits
- Reduced ability to earn income in the future
- Temporary or permanent disability
- Pain and suffering or emotional distress
- Property damage expenses
- Extra household bills, like cleaning or lawn care you would have handled before your injury
- Childcare costs if your injuries prevent you from parenting as usual
If you lost a loved one, a Boynton Beach wrongful death lawyer from our team can review all the potential covered losses under Florida Statutes § 768.21 with you, such as lost support, loss of companionship and protection, and funeral expenses.
We can review the full scope of your losses and determine what types of compensation may be available. Depending on your situation, your compensation might come from an insurance settlement or a personal injury lawsuit. No matter how your case moves forward, our slip and fall accident attorneys in Boynton can seek compensation for all your covered losses.
How Our Slip and Fall Accident Attorneys in Boynton Support Clients
First, we believe everyone deserves legal representation at their convenience. That’s why we offer evening and weekend appointments. And, so you can talk to someone who truly understands you, we have team members who speak several languages, including:
- Spanish
- Arabic
- Creole
- Greek
- Portuguese
- Russian
- Turkish
When you enlist our help with your case, we will:
- Investigate the circumstances of your fall to better understand what happened and gather evidence of your injuries and related costs
- Review all potentially liable parties who may owe you compensation
- Assess the full scope of your damages to build a clear picture of how the fall has affected your life
- Communicate with insurers and review any settlement offers to help ensure they reflect the full extent of your losses
If a fair settlement isn’t possible, we can prepare and file a lawsuit and, if needed, represent you at trial. Possibly more important than what we handle for our clients is how we make them feel. Take it from a former client:
“Very helpful and professional customer service. Superb experience. Highly recommend. Service from start to finish and some more.”

Who Do I Sue For a Slip and Fall Accident?
Slip and fall accidents can happen because someone didn’t take reasonable steps to keep a property safe. If a business, store owner, private homeowner, landlord, property manager, government agency, or even a cleaning company fails to fix or warn about a hazard, they may be held responsible for the injuries that result. Some examples include:
- Spills that aren’t cleaned up
- Broken flooring
- Poor lighting
- Unsafe stairs
- Clutter in walkways
In some cases, these accidents cause serious injuries, like back trauma or even permanent nerve damage. If someone suffers a spinal cord injury from a fall—say, at a grocery store with a wet, unmarked floor— they may be able to seek damages from the business owner or property manager. A Boynton Beach spinal cord injury lawyer from our team can explore whether compensation is available for long-term needs.
Don’t Miss Your Opportunity to Pursue Compensation
In Florida, you generally have two years from the date of your injury—or from the date of your loved one’s passing—to file a lawsuit. This deadline is outlined in Florida Statutes § 95.11.
Evidence can be harder to find as time goes on. Surveillance footage might be erased, accident reports can go missing, and witnesses may forget key details. The sooner you reach out, the sooner we can gather the information needed to support your case. Some of the documentation we may collect includes:
- Medical records and bills related to your injuries
- Photos or videos of the scene where the fall happened
- Incident or accident reports filed at the time of the fall
- Witness statements from people who saw what happened
- Maintenance logs or inspection reports from the property
- Pay stubs or employment records to show lost income
- Expert opinions about your injuries or future care needs
We also need time to notify the appropriate parties, build a strong claim, and, if needed, prepare to file a lawsuit before the legal deadline.
Helping Families Move Forward After a Fall
